Real Estate Professional Status Documentation

[Haley Brown]

Hello! 

My husband and I own/manage a few LTRs and MTRs in Texas and we are thinking I might qualify for Real Estate Professional Status in 2024 with all the hours I put into our properties (and growing properties :)).

We have spoken to our CPA about requirements but I am feeling a little overwhelmed at how to log these hours in an efficient, accessible and manageable way. Does anyone have a spreadsheet they use that they wouldn't mind sharing? Or anything other suggestions on the best way to document these hours? I have found a few old forums with ideas but they are 4-5+ yr old, wondering if there might be anything new out there as well. 

Thanks so much!
