I'm still quite new and inexperienced in the investment world.Currently I'm looking into expanding and building up my portfolio with MFH/Commercial in B/B+ neighborhood with some disposable W2 income.

Are you being billed the $50/h rate at a prorated rate or are you handing over $50 as the minimum for such a callexample 2: a garbage disposal needs replacing.

If you are dealing with partners, I would highly suggest creating an LLC entity AND have it include a an operating agreement that covers who does what and how you will eventually dissolve the company/dispose of the property.Disclaimer: I am not an attorney nor do I play one on the internet.

They carry forward indefinitely until you have passive income to offset or you dispose of the 'activity' (i.e. the property).If you're below $150k in AGI, you may be able to use some or all of the tax loss from the rental to offset other taxable income if you can substantiate active participation."

I know how we handle this issue in our own house, but that requires us to occasionally dispose of a dead mouse, something a vacationer is not going to want to do. 

Mine is a nearby young Grandma who watches the grand babies and likes to have disposable cash from visiting my property 2-3x a week for an hour.

So much of their disposable income is wasted on alcohol, cigarettes & lottery.

That enabled them to dispose of an abandoned, non-operational vehicle more quickly, vs. other tow companies that would have to store it for some time period in case the owner claimed it.  

It's a tactic and a tool to have at your disposal for the right situation.
