These Ai thing the way I see it, is just temporary way to uphold the stock market, gov. cant screw 401k and retiress because if stock market collapsing, nobody would elect them so they have to create a story.gov regardless left or right, they have no choice but to pump stock market via tech sector as if they are going with oil, they would satisfy the Russian, their new enemy lol.....this is why also the risk/reward for avg Joe, public investing either with SPY or simple REIT for real estate is still way better , it just provide the cashflow to investor while it's also liquid.

If not, even though you are a re pro, losses are passive & deductions are limited.There are 7 scenarios that will qualify as material, and you only need to meet one:*500 hours*Substantially all participation*> 100 hrs and at least 1/2*Significant participation*5/10 years*Personal service activity w participation in last 3 years*Continuous participationTo materially participate, you must be involved in the operations of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.Once you pass the pro test, the material participation often comes along for the ride.You can elect to aggregate all rental real estate for purposes of measuring material participation under Sec. 1.469-9(g).Your time spent on all your rental properties (STRs don't qualify) counts as one activity, making it easier to materially participate.In order to make a strong case with your CPA and the IRS you need to document your hours.Best practice is an hours log where you are as specific as possible.
