The 6th, 7th and 8th highest page views per listed properties were in Macon (out of 113 hospital systems in GA, counting ones with missing data).

Not sure if I can count the number of times I was threatened to be sued.

@Aus Smith if there is base rent and then an extra fee the resident pays for a common utility, we count that as revenue towards a percentage-based management fee. 

You are playing with fire with this strategy to start, but then when you count in an inexperienced rehab to rent a year later, I would earmark this for disaster.

I would most likely use MLS to find a property but for Padsplit I would want to add bedrooms and possibly bathrooms to maximize bedroom count. 

Unfortunately, these are considered “investor hours” and will not count unless Jackson was involved in the day-to-day management.

No other contibutions and for sure post count does influence others who relate it to credibility.

@Jason D. 40k people die a year in car accidents and 10k people a year are killed by guns (not counting suicides).

So in a few months I think most of my pain points with them will have finally faded and I feel like I can count on them to manage the property professionally and make sure those owner draws are paid out on time.

If not, even though you are a re pro, losses are passive & deductions are limited.There are 7 scenarios that will qualify as material, and you only need to meet one:*500 hours*Substantially all participation*> 100 hrs and at least 1/2*Significant participation*5/10 years*Personal service activity w participation in last 3 years*Continuous participationTo materially participate, you must be involved in the operations of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.Once you pass the pro test, the material participation often comes along for the ride.You can elect to aggregate all rental real estate for purposes of measuring material participation under Sec. 1.469-9(g).Your time spent on all your rental properties (STRs don't qualify) counts as one activity, making it easier to materially participate.In order to make a strong case with your CPA and the IRS you need to document your hours.Best practice is an hours log where you are as specific as possible.
