@Eric E.UBIT only comes into play in an IRA on leveraged real estate and running an active business.

It's too much like the hospitality business rather than a rental. 

Just don't forget that this is a cashflow business more than an investment.

Quote from @Matthew Paul: I understand how businesses work.

Might want to tuck that (and your TWO years of experience) back in.I guess if you consider doing 80% MORE investor business in 2024 than I did in 2023 "slow", okay then... ha ha ha.But hey - if people like you insist on being a complete jerk here, showing everyone exactly who they are, as Mel Robbins says, I'll "Let them".Who are you, again? 

When I asked for a loan, they asked if my business received money in Euros. 

Lenders desperately need/want business especially in this interest rate environment (right now, the main source of mortgage loan business in Florida is rehab financing as a result of the hurricane damages) and one way the big players differentiate themselves is by streamlining the process.

There are easily 5-6 meetings per week you can go to and learn from people who have been in this business for decades.

Do you believe it will now be more cost effective to hold a license or do you believe the expenses will go up with what I assume will be a flight from the business by low producing real estate agents? 

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.
