One is if you qualify as a RE professional, meaning that you materially participate in the investment.

Listen to podcasts, read, participate in various forum topics.

Have you ever met wholesalers that are interested in also participating in the deals they find with the buyer?

DavidAS one of the founding members of Aheroshome.org  which was the BP charity at BPcon 21 I personally want to thank all that participated and donated..

I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

Just to cap this forum, I want to thank each of those who participated and have given me sound advice to quickly get my tenants out and move on to new tenants.Long story short, my previous tenants have moved out by the end of last November and I swiftly made the property rent ready (they left the property in VERY clean condition) within a matter of days and it was back in the market. 

However, there are two scenarios in which you can earn greater than $150,000 per year and are still allowed to claim up to $25,000 in passive losses by combining gains and losses under Section 469.The first way is to combine rental property with investments in which you also materially participate in that have passive activities that generate income.

In addition, a person cannot discriminate in the terms or conditions of a rental agreement against another person based on source of income, or based upon the person's participation in a 3rd-party contract required as a condition of receiving public housing assistance.

I am not sure if it's a fragility issue or a participation trophy issue, but to become a great investor, you have to be open to diverse feedback, even if it's sometimes sarcastic when you think you found the deal of the century still on the market after 816 days in Scottsdale where every investor whets their beak every day.Anyone else seeing this?
