I could likely see many things from the TCJA being made permanent, mostly procedural items like the higher standard deduction and child tax credit (Plus eliminating exemptions).

.: Hi All,Is there any way to structure a private lending arrangement so that income is considered passive (by IRS standards) and can offset accumulated schedule E losses?

That's a real bait and switch scummy thing to do, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised these days. keep in mind this is not usually bait and switch it could be and they are not being scummy.they simply are at the whims of thier senior credit facilities wants and needs..

I think what you describe is pretty much standard performance for rental properties if your not paying cash and I am just assuming your putting max debt on them to try to get your return numbers into your criteria..

If an agent brings a client and buys the wholesale deal, their standard contract is the second contract that the original contract is being assigned to.

We typically estimate standard costs for these items but get them done much cheaper with our own crew.

So thats kind of the standard operating procedures in those markets and nothing really sells for full list price..
