Having an LLC does not change the characteristic of the income.If the activity inside the LLC is a rental property, the income / loss will flow to the members / partners as rental income / loss in which case, it would be deemed passive.The member may be considered active participation in which case, there may be an exception to take up to $25,000 of losses.

What do you think would be an acceptable lease buyout in this situation?

I don’t think it’s a scam but I wouldn’t be comfortable with dealing with anyone who asks me to go through videos of the property and videos of shows to may be increase view count of the show and properties on Youtube or wherever.Even a smallest turnkey provider would be able to share tax numbers and may be an excel with numbers.
