However, if you or your spouse can meet the Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) requirements by working over your w2 hours in real estate and materially participating, the rental losses could offset your active income.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Readers should seek professional advice.

They did not communicate the scope well to the plumber, who it sounds like should not have been involved in the first place I would have a point-blank conversation about the above with your manager and ask who he or she thinks should cover the waste of paying multiple professionals to shuffle a thin plastic piece underneath an appliance the tenant was responsible for installing in the first place.

Overall I would recommend talking to other investors or professionals  familiar with the strategy and having a solid system for tracking material participation.
