.: Hi All,Is there any way to structure a private lending arrangement so that income is considered passive (by IRS standards) and can offset accumulated schedule E losses?

HEY GUYS JUST WANTED TO KNOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET FUNDING FOR A LIVE IN FLIP IM CURRENTLY ONE SIDE AND WOULD LOVE TO REHAB THE WHOLE PROPERTY I GOT IN USING FHA ! CAN I USE A 203 TO FUND THE REHAB??

Baselane has the added advantage of synching with your Schedule E you'll use at tax time to file your taxes.

Expenses for your rental activities still have to all be on Schedule E, not C. 

If the property is in your personal name you might consider filing the income and expenses from the rental on your personal tax return on IRS Schedule E, not through the LLC. 

Quote from @Pierre E.: I am trying to learn and understand... someone told me that its not just size of the home or level of the flip that determines profit, and that in some markets, what is considered a typical profit is 300k based on the 70% ARV formula.

Did you try meetups and Facebook Groups in NaplesExample there are few ones here in Naples which are freehttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/likeminded-naples-real-estate-i...

depending on how backed up the county is it can e take a few months for court date. in essex county it took my mother in law about 8 months or so for the full process. she had an attorney, not sure if that sped anything up
