The problem persisted for two days, then magically vanished.

Now if we have a magic wand YES of course we shazam up a great appreciating property with amazing cash-flow, duh right.

But as soon as your day job annual income exceeds $150,000 that goes away....Is there some box on Schedule E to check that tells the IRS that I am a "real estate professional" which magically undoes the Passive Activity Loss rules? 

My suggestion is focus on the QUALITY OF THE CONTENT.CREATE CONTENT THAT ADDRESS THE PAIN POINTS OF YOUR AVATAR.At the end of the day, there’s no magic formula, there is no way to game the algorithm as it keeps changing anyway, jist ge consistent and post quality content.

All the "recessions" are caused by greed......and what is greed.....technically speaking....its when some people think that they have found the magic formula of making a lot of money and then try leveraging...And that is why the "best of best" usually protect their principal first and then try to maximize their returns because a single zero can take it all away.

Let's make magic together!

Then I work the magic with the numbers and in many cases like now, I have 2 different companies that I have insured my portfolio because for some houses, the one that was cheaper for some of the properties when 3x to a SFH so I moved that one to another company.Insurance nowadays are not small money so it makes a difference to get a cheaper one so that you can get a better cashflow.You don't need to sit with them, but call them and you may need to spend an hour or so to get you setup with them.

Contrary to what you've been told, there's no magic or secret to it.  

Let's connect and make some real estate magic happen!

RE is not a magical business that prints money no matter what.
