There are lots of reasons why this might be you…but alternatively there are MANY an investor that are very successful WITHOUT Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Alternatively you could be a cash partner for an active investor (like me).

Losses from AirBnB are considered nonpassive for the purposes of Passive loss limitations, as long as you can show "material participation."
