For people that are out of work with no means to buy food and pay rent (except through government handouts) -- well, their number will grow and they'll grow more and more restless and then angry, they'll force the politicians to reopen the economy... it is, after all, a democracy.In my current day-job, I deal daily with COVID in the DoD. 

Well I opened at a dollar over and to give air's that she was not there for a hand out she bid a dollar over me fully expecting me to continue bidding well I had been by the home in the morning ( I highly doubt she even looked at it. ) and it was occupied and it looked like some serious biker type dudes..

I have a website that is getting a couple leads here and am going to force myself to hand out bird dog flyers to mailmen/ trashmen but even with that I'm scared they will think "yeah right YOU can buy houses?" 

I send them business cards to hand out for me.

No, it's not you just can't wait for a handout!

Do all that you can - signs, walk neighborhoods, hand out business cards, magnets on your car, etc. etc. 

Last I checked a SFR rental doesn’t cash flow enough to give a PM a free handout.

Thanks for posting Brian.It almost seems like this bill, while devastating to the true commercial players or wealthy folks with properties well in excess of 5 million, it will benefit regular mom and pop ppl like me who don't own 8 figure-like properties....and also do not really need any additional handouts.

While I am part of the younger generation (35), I don't hav the same feelings of entitlement and can't stand the handouts everyone grabs at.

I ask this question because there are real differences in what you are allowed to deduct, capitalize and report in these two situations.Investors that are wholesaling and flipping are typically in the business of real estate.Landlords typically are not in a "trade or business" as defined in the IRS code & regulations, but are engaged in an investment activity (Production of income).Deductions that are reasonable and necessary in the production of rental income are not necessarily the same as what would be considered reasonable and necessary for a business.A business would be allowed research and development costs, educational Seminars, trade shows, meals and entertainment.
