In that case, the taxpayer had individuals testify to his character and work in court, which is an unusual scenario and highlights the difficulty of making such a claim.If the TP cannot qualify for REPS, they may still be eligible to claim material participation in the deals, even with less than 5% ownership in some of them.

What’s more baffling is that, instead of rectifying the issue, Mike provided access to the wrong account – the unused and unknown one – and eventually led to the cancellation of both my accounts.This experience not only highlights serious issues in their customer service but also raises concerns about their internal account management systems.

Hey Corey -Three things I’d like to highlight are:1) Most lenders will have a leverage cap on doing a portfolio loan versus doing a single asset, so definitely ask the lender(s) that you’re speaking to about this. 2) Be mindful that a portfolio loan will save a decent chunk of change (thousands of dollars) on closing costs, so that can make it worth it. 3) Lenders will also have partial release clauses for paying off individual properties in the portfolio.
