Hi Jay, Nice to see you here! Thanks for your input. I don't know why, but I always thought it would be passive income. Thank you! Hope you are doing well!

Hi,

I lent some money to 3 people last year as a private lender. I told my tax accountant that it should be considered as passive income to offset the passive loss from my rental property. But my tax accountant said it should be considered as portfolio investment income, not passive income. So we are not in agreement.

I sent this to my tax accountant

She sent the IRS link to me

I wonder how your tax accountant treat your private lending interest?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I have used BigggerPockets lease agreement forms last year. Now my tenants would like to renew their lease for another year. Is there a lease renewal template? 

Thank you!

Thank you! We bought the condo last year and the seller put in the Berber carpet. We wish it was synthetic hardwood floor for easy maintenance.

Hi, Met a lovely young couple who are interested in renting our luxury condo in Palo Alto. The only thing I am hesitating about is they have a corgi dog. She said it is her psychologist prescribed service dog to ease her anxiety, so it is a "service dog." But our new Berber carpet costs $8,000. I never had any dogs and not sure if you have experience with Corgi. They said he is well trained and never pees on the carpet. I need your advice. Thanks!
