Would love to see an example of some real life qualifying activities and what you're including.

Tax deductions / write-offs should be a second concern.There are some rules that you need to follow to treat a short-term rental as 'active'(non passive) income which would allow you to offset it against other forms of income such as rental income / wages.

@Aaron B.So cool that you're actively responding to constructive feedback here!

One of these is at 4243 Leidy Ave., a boarded-up rowhouse across the street from an elementary school in Parkside.About a year before DDH Fund bought that house in September 2016, street-level images on the city’s Atlas property-data website show that its windows and doors had been intact.

You see a house on google street view, bid like there is a house there, and you bid your $50,000 minimum bid up to $100,000 for your $200,000 house. 

We are actively managing two fund offerings, one focusing on real property (REO and off market properties), the other focusing on Pre-REO (vacant first mortgages).

I have met a few folks recently who are active in that market and I am planning on following up and seeing what their experience has been.

This is because REPS reclassifies rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to fully offset active income.

I'm actively searching for my next investment and would appreciate any advice from seasoned investors and developers.

Depending on the situation, a taxpayer could offset some of the passive losses with active income.
