@Geoffrey S.

Depending on your level of income from those investments, you could be better off biting the bullet and accepting the ordinary income classification while exploring SE limiting strategies like forming an S-Corp.

But all help is appreciated here as someone new, and if there is something I can do, please list that suggestion(s).Thank you.

@Joe S., did the property manager warn them about this last time.

I do like having come down from 83 to being in the 40's though as I was self managing. 

You have some options like driving for $'s to look for distressed & abandoned properties. 

Depending on serveral factors you could be in the high 5's.

IE everything that at simpliest yellow sticky notes, to spread sheet can do but with automation and usefuylness for >>1000's of warm leads.    99% of investors don't have this 1000's of (active) leads problem.to have 1000 active leads you need 100 warm leads / mo that after 10 mo of adding 100/mo you have >1000 active leads.   

There are also very stringent timing requirements and receipts of the proceeds from the sale around 1031's.
