@Nancy Bachety did you file grouping elections for any of your properties (LTRs with LTRs or STRs w/ STRs)?

I don't want all this knowledge to not be put to use when it was meant for me to pursue it sooner.

@Ian Ippolito what’s even more concerning to me is that the fed would have probably cut more than a half point but with it being so close to the election wanted to preserve its impartiality.  

PatriciaThe upcoming election seems to bring some volatility and also  hesitation  for real estate investors right now, sometime after November 10th I am sure we can have more clarity on what strategy to use :)

It always seemed like a huge headache and probably not meant for a little fish investor like myself. 

Aggregation Election.You can elect to aggregate all of your real estate activities into a single activity for purposes of meeting the material participation requirements.

I often had clients that didn't understand what it meant to be ordinary and necessary. 

Their questionnaire to pre-screen potential applicants meant to save them from wasting time showing the property to unqualified people.

They are not meant to adversely impact any business or individual directly or financially.

It's partly the economy, but it's also common during an election year when people are a little unsure about where the country is headed.
