I suspect this would happen if various parties were given the ability to ask questions in nearly every application for what this thread touches on - and I have major concerns about integrity (and credibility) issues involved in putting yourself in a position to defend this position if ever challenged. 

I populate all my own mailing lists, which typically involve only motivated sellers (high equity, divorce, probate, foreclosure, tax foreclosure, etc.).

To meet material participation, you need to log at least 100 hours of work and do more than anyone else involved.

@Roger Garner the strategy will really depend on what level of involvement you want in the project.

With $50K—$100K, you could fund a rehab and refinance to free up most of your equity for the next deal.Cons: BRRRR often requires more hands-on involvement, especially managing contractors and timelines, which could be challenging with your demanding job and family obligations.

Hi Jessica, I put the house on the market instead as the MTR strategy involved significant upfront capital that I wasn't ready to for.

Additionally, E&O will become problematic when you sell your own real estate and view it as a conflict, especially when you are involved with the development team.

I understand that BRRRR would provide more cash flow, but from what I've read this method also requires more time and investment.

Quote from @Andrew Syrios: Welcome to KC Leo, I would definitely recommend getting involved in MAREI, the real estate investor association here. 

Also, knowing the tech terms for a project benefits u bc guys will know you know SOMETHING about what is involved.
