To become an REP you have to:- spend 750hrs or more in real estate investing activities (looking at zillow, watching BP youtube videos, actual property mgt, etc)- spend more time on real estate activities than any other single area (like a w2 job)My wife is a REP while I work at a W2, this allows us to take deductions from passive investing against our active income and saves us thousands of dollars every year on taxes.
