I need some advice from experienced RE investors.We want to buy a 6 bed/ 5 bath in a great area (top zipcode in the area).Thinking of splitting into 2 units but re-zoning permits are almost impossible in area.Ideas of converting to AirBnb or community center?

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate wouldn't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.

Daniel Siapin We were in a partnership with a couple of award winning wineries in SA about 3 years back (not going to say who but one provides grapes to Penfolds and was winery of the year not long ago).I would say this.

Through connections with people in various markets, I was able to establish short-term rentals internationally, manage properties in different states, and diversify my investments in a way I hadn’t initially planned.A lot of these opportunities came from contacts I made over time.

All that said: I don't know the market you are talking about, specifically, but I would say a good quad in a good location will always be in demand.
