While this may exempt it from being classified as a rental activity, active participation remains a requirement, necessitating compliance with three tests: spending 500 hours on the property, dedicating at least 100 hours (and more than any other participant), and performing all the necessary work needed.Additionally, long-term viability and consideration of depreciation recapture are important concerns.

Tasty Trade will open an account for an IRA-owned LLC.Alternately you can send money from your IRA-owned LLC to your self-directed custodian and then perform an IRA-to-IRA transfer to another IRA at any firm you choose.

. - most of them perform their task and "disappear" until next time.The PMC is the only team member that has to deal with a property & tenant on a daily basis.Recommend a chat with Michael as he can refer you to all of the above.

Material Participation Activities:Property Maintenance: Engage in repairs or construction work on the property to maintain or enhance its condition.Contractor Management: Oversee the hiring and coordination of contractors or handymen for property-related tasks.Tenant Interaction: Communicate with tenants regarding lease agreements, inquiries, or property issues.Property Acquisition: Invest time in property search and evaluation processes, including visits to potential investment properties.Property Management Tasks: Perform activities typically handled by property management companies, such as rent collection or property inspections.Non-Qualifying Activities:Educational Pursuits: Time spent on real estate education or training programs does not count towards material participation.Investor Hours: Hours dedicated to investment analysis, financial planning, or portfolio management are not considered material participation.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Hello, I have a few rental properties and I am looking for a program that tells me the overall performance once I input income and expenses.

I will make thing easy for you.This is my actual real live assumption.Prop Price=$560k , interest rate=3.3%, capital gain tax for invstment=33%, appreciation=5.75% , slightly positive cash flow (DSCR 1.05).Result after 10 years:Return after 10 yearstotal_net_PITInetReturn Factorcapital gain if OO$577,851-$385,000$192,000(live for free)1.6capital gain if rental,positive CF$381,000$26,000$407,000(still the biggest buck)3.391666667caiptain gain if rental , negative CF$381,000-$24,000$357,000( not that bad really)2.975so rental property with highest appreciation and bit cash flow at the end of 10 year is still performed better, even negative CF is not that bad, the return from original investment after 10 years is still almost 3x.

Remember: buying the right property the right way is important, but how you manage your rental will really determine how it performs. 

There seems to be so much going on there and the environment is similar to San Diego (similar types of houses, wonderful Hispanic influences).
