.: Hi All,Is there any way to structure a private lending arrangement so that income is considered passive (by IRS standards) and can offset accumulated schedule E losses?

I send a text to introduce myself and ask if we can answer any questions about the listing or to support them in finalizing their booking.We follow up with an e-mail reiterating the same information.  

I would be curious if you e-mailed your city, county and state officials with your story how they justify you having to pay property taxes.

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc.
