@Harjot Khangura @Eamonn McElroyIf he files jointly with his wife and his wife does the 750 hours/year required for the Real Estate Professional tax status that would be legal and the unlimited depreciation defensible, right?

If I'm a Quarterback and the Defensive Line coach walks up to me and tells me my form is off, am I really going to value his opinion as I would of a Quarterback coach?

Wages increase so significantly that it allows homes to not drop, stay as is or increase (fat chance).Clearly someone is going to win in this (potentially current homeowners and upper middle class), with losers being Millenials, Gen Z and others who do not own OR they are the winners and losers are anyone who bought the past 3 years.Either way, someone will win and someone is gonna lose.For me, I play offense and defense - I am consistently looking for deals but also if #1 happens, am I protected.
