For ex: Marketing for tenants, Screening tenant, Showing Property, leasing, making sure documents are in place, handling service request, moving out, Repairs and repeat, take pictures for sale or rent.

@Russell Brazil Maybe not a fair comparison though because as an agent you’re probably a highly active real estate investor with your finger on the pulse of your local market which you work in daily, whereas someone investing in an S&P index fund is not a professional trader who aims to find ways to beat the market every day.

SFR's are 'king' in the 1-4 space meaning that almost everyone will seek to attain or move towards an SFR - tenants included, they are more stable and they are also much easier to exit as compared to a duplex while still holding value for ex. you would sell an SFR to an owner occupier whereas 2-4 units  you would sell to someone that is trying to be savy and possibly hammer your down on price.

The USD right now might be on the expensive side, and even if you find the cheapest forex broker or service (which btw I've worked with many and I really like TW), there is always potential for downside if / when you eventually want to repatriate capital...Un saludo!

For ex. after locating the right deal/property for us, that agent will have the honor of finding the right buyer for the completed development project on that parcel. 

I would be very cautious on the rental property-I am not convinced that rental property will not qualify for the new deduction-borrowing from Hedge Fund land -trader vs investor-it is not defined in the code and as alluded to previously trade or business under 162 goes to case law-in financial services one of the items to determine a trader-which is a better tax position (deductions not subject to AGI 2% limitation)-is regular and continuous activity-lots of trading-turning over portfolio multiple times a yearIn Real Estate World-if someone owns 6 or 7 houses and is always involved-think tenants, busted pipes, collection of rent, evictions when necessary-can you say that does not rise to the level of a trade or business-why is a grocery store any differentI have looked around and I don't see any major commentators saying rental wont qualify unless common ownership (I did see the verbiage in the proposed reg and I think there is a different reason that was put it-something about aggregating rental with non-rental activity)Bottom Line-all I am saying is lets wait and see as comments are submitted to Treasury and not rule anything in or out as far as rental properties are concerned 

For ex: interior paint cost-, exterior paint cost.. by doing this you get what they charge you based per sqft and then you can compare apples to apples with our Gcs.

Reno seems like a good place to WFH since we have many recreational activities (ski/snowboard/hikes), all the typical shopping/stores (whole foods, trader joes, coscto, 3 big malls) and of course nightlife at the casinos.

I do so with hesitation because I am sure there are a lot of differing opinions on my numbers and also what the numbers should be for ex. cap ex, vacancy rate, etc.
