I doubt if I read for the next ten years that I would be qualified to perform a heart transplant.

I’m very happy to hear your optimism for appreciation and that you’re seeing transplants.

If they are a dentist, chiropractor, electrician, baker, hair salon or anything that requires a building, buy and sell or lease to them. 

I find it hard to believe the IRS is interested in splitting this “hair” in a punitive way, as a new business entity starting out.

Not sure about the context here... a W-2 and 6 rentals might seem steep... but were there a bunch of hair on your rentals?

My youngest child had a heart transplant as an infant. 

My wife/business partner is kind of the MTR expert between us, and she's always saying, you don't care who your tenant is -- traveling nurse, displaced homeowner due to remodeling or home damage, remote worker, transplant wanting to figure out the city, etc. -- you care that you get a good tenant; that's all.

You can split hairs all you want whether its a "business," but what you are doing doesn't raise itself to being an active income source. 

I use excel for a lot of things, but to image having to look at a list of 200 and try to manually sift through it to find the correct criteria for a property would have me pulling out the little hair I have left.

I'd only heard about home hair dye that women use in the shower.Is that hair dye or shoe polish?
