We have worked with Investors and they are never really married to their Realtors unless you happen to connect with somebody looking to do a long-term hold and actively trying to find a good realistic deal. 

It seems like a great opportunity—it’s located in a charming, small community surrounded by the national forest, just minutes from a major ski resort.

All are within 30 minutes of major employers.  2) Like most metro areas in the surrounding states and regions, we've had an inventory shortage for more than 5 years.

I am actively working on a buyer and a personal money lender list. 

This one will be interesting, in mountain view and it is very active. https://www.meetup.com/San-Jose-Real-Estate-Networking-Club/...

Right now treating it as interest but would like to make it active income to do a solo 401k .

Uses the syndication depreciation losses to help offset active incomeI did read your post mentioned above @Michael Plaks which is very informative.

Problem is only "RE pros" get to do it.There are 3 income classifications in the US - Active, Portfolio, and PassiveActive income is income derived from your job, or normal trade or business.Portfolio income is derived from bank instruments - stocks, bonds, etc.Passive income is income earned from investments.Active losses can wipe out both passive and portfolio income, but it doesn't work the other way around.Portfolio (capital) losses are limited to $3,000 annually.Passive losses can only be offset by passive gains.Real estate rental income by its nature is deemed passive per IRC Sec 469One way to get around it is to become a pro - spend more than 750 hours or 1/2 your time in real estate.But most folks aren't real estate pros.

Also the Adelson family of Las Vegas Sands fame have purchased a couple of big parcels with hopes to build a giant casino/convention resort perhaps anchored by the arena for the Mavericks for which they also just purchased majority ownership from Mark Cuban.
