I highly encourage you to visit. 

If that's not the case I would encourage you to surround yourself with different CPA's and tax attorney's if they are telling you that a rental property is going to be subject to the limitation. 

For the rest of your life, every time you try to uphold his memory, there's a small sarcastic voice in the back of your head that reminds you that he knew less than nothing about money.By pure dumb luck & juvenile arrogance, I made sure that would never happen, by encouraging my Dad to buy a couple of short sale properties during the crash 8 years ago.
