People still have jobs.

You did an INCREDIBLE job on this home. 

A real estate professional can use real estate losses to offset W-2 or other income, but you would need to meet both the:1.750-hour rule – You must spend at least 750 hours per year in real estate activities.2.50% rule – More than 50% of your working time must be spent on real estate.Since both of you have W-2 jobs, it might be difficult to meet these requirements unless one of you dedicates significant time to real estate.Another option could be buying multiple rental properties.

As an investor, that's your ONE and ONLY JOB!

I have had this job for 3 years.

I work a full time job , so time can be tough but I know that not being able to do dynamic pricing based on slow months is really hurting us. 

We operate a small retail business out of commercial space in the building with the 4 residential units, which pays me a W2 salary and my wife has a part time W2 job at a vet clinic. 

As you can appreciate with your background your audience creates your experience as an investor.PS I am in camp SF, because I wanted the least amount of effort while I am traveling, which used to be for my corporate job, It's for pleasure and we take 6 trips every year with little to no issues

While working, I shifted my focus and started doing BRRRR projects on the side while maintaining my 9-5 job.

I work a commission based job and am on pace to make just over 6 figures for the first time this year.
