You would essentially be working 50-60 hour weeks when combining with your full-time job and the real estate to qualify.If you have a detailed and accurate hours log, it is possible but just note that it may raise scrutiny by the IRS.

@Joshua Christensen Coincidentally I met the managing partner of Infinite Capital, Javier Pineyro last week for coffee.

As you can see, the median rent MoM has jumped from $1388 to $1,500 and after a conversation with our leasing team, they have been the busiest they have been in a few weeks, leasing multiple properties with increased rates and in little time on the market for rent.

When I buy an occupied property, I introduce myself to the tenants on the day of closing; then, I inspect every unit within one week.

. --- Who gets all the phone calls and wastes time calming a tenant down because the owner's contractor doesn't show up as scheduled after they took time off from work or a 3 day job takes 3 weeks?

I'd say each property on average has at least 2 bookings a week ( more during the on season) so that's about 34 hours a week average.

I had a realtor tell me last week "light rehab, under $30K" on a house that wasn't on the MLS. 

Also here in Buffalo, and this was a topic at our monthly BP meetup last week.

I follow up a few weeks later and was told that "the city was going charge $3,000.00 to remove the old dumpster but we (the management company) could do it for $2,000.00, so we just did it. 

Every next step of the process gets executed days or weeks after it's supposed to.
