@David Taylor there is definatly a stigma attached to the activity.

Or conversely maybe you have NO interest in being an active participant at all.

I've been actively searching for and analyzing multifamily and single-family deals, making calls, and submitting offers.

Also have active listings all over California.

First, it could help you qualify as a real estate professional (REP), or at least make it easier to qualify, which would allow you to offset passive losses from your rental properties against your active income.

Because the total volume of sales for these lots is down, there's potential for a large gap between the lowest-priced active listing, and the most recent closed listing, solely due to the lack of available data (closed sales).

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

@Jonathan GreeneLots of great ways to invest in real estate.The decision of active v passive comes down to how time, expensive, knowledge and capital an investor has. 

As an active cyclist and triathlete, I am looking at places that are cycling and outdoor sports destinations to cater a rental to athletes.

We have the most activity and most frequent groups (1 main meetup and 3 subgroups each month).
