Recently a prominent marketer of Cleveland rental properties and property management services named Bob Prisco was exposed for being less than honest in his business dealings and posting activity here on BiggerPockets.

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm also curious... to those that have had success in this area, are you the ones actively answering the calls / emails from these mailers, or do you have a team in place to respond to the leads?

Looking forward to being an active part of this community and learning from all of you!

Section 469(c)(7) provides an exception that allows qualifying taxpayers to treat rental real estate activities as nonpassive, enabling them to deduct losses against other types of income.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I just use 1 card for 65 units (managed) and 1 card for 8 active rentals owned. 

Seeing as how I'm not sure if you are communicating this properly, but one could be crossing ethical / legal boundaries --- maybe.Personally, the rental activity for that sort of property and tenant would not be worth the time.Thanks for letting us know. 

For context, I’m active in Columbus, Ohio, but I also spend a lot of time in Miami, FL.

You may be able to buy a second property now, but are you ready since you are active duty?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a service for property managers that integrates the use of motion activated cameras to monitor self showings or vacant properties?

Once you have REPS the distinction between passive income (or losses) and active income (W2) disappears and all those tax losses you have been banking can be applied to the W2.Good luck
