He’s got a solid reputation and is an active member of the local REIA.

These three smaller companies are popular with Bigger Pockets members, and their respective leaders are active on this forum.

Would love to see an example of some real life qualifying activities and what you're including.

@Aaron B.So cool that you're actively responding to constructive feedback here!

Tax deductions / write-offs should be a second concern.There are some rules that you need to follow to treat a short-term rental as 'active'(non passive) income which would allow you to offset it against other forms of income such as rental income / wages.

We are actively managing two fund offerings, one focusing on real property (REO and off market properties), the other focusing on Pre-REO (vacant first mortgages).

Depending on the situation, a taxpayer could offset some of the passive losses with active income.

I have met a few folks recently who are active in that market and I am planning on following up and seeing what their experience has been.

This is because REPS reclassifies rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to fully offset active income.

I'm actively searching for my next investment and would appreciate any advice from seasoned investors and developers.
