This is why the moment I hear a hungry-realtor saying how they want to get out there and get with a client like yourself because there going to make "oh so much commissions" or that an agent works with "all investor buyers" I just giggle and walk-on, because that's just a declaration of ignorance and inexperience. 100%, what your doing as an active value-shopping investor, going for small-"pop" properties, it either (a) isn't worth an agents time because it simply does not pay enough for the work involved or (b) the agent is too green to know this and than, since they are so green, there no-good at it anyways.

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate won't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.It's an incredibly powerful benefit if you do meet the criteria.
