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

I can see an explicit exception in CA Tax Code § 17561 that says you can not use the qualifications in Section 469(c)(7) (Real estate professional) to render that income as non-passive, but I see no callout for 1.469-1T and, as such - as a non-CPA - I do not (yet) see a reason why we cannot follow the same rules for CA that we do for our federal taxes; e.g., if the business is not a "rental" business per tax code, we count that income as non-passive and offset other income (W2, etc) similarly.Does anybody else have some guidance (or opinions) on this matter?

We're looking at comps to get some idea but curious if any appraisers could offer their professional perspective.

Buy cheaper or find better way to increase cashflow Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'm always game for meeting like minded people and other professionals to chat about the local market.

I figured DC would be a great area to invest in because it attracts tons of young professionals.

I've found it to be quite a mixed bag in terms of operator skill and expected vs. actual returns.

I'm curious as well.But, I am sure that one of the CPAs, enrolled agents, or Tax professionals on the forums will be able to answer this question now that I have summoned them with my keyword stuffing.

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.
