You can still use a property manager for on-site tasks, but your own activities—like managing bookings, marketing, and bookkeeping—must be well-documented and exceed the property manager’s time.It’s important to carefully track your hours, especially if you’re managing remotely, as this can face additional scrutiny from the IRS.
