@Luis Chug could you share the Frost rep who did this?

How to mitigate unexpecting costs that come up, is a battle that happens on every deal, but how we handle it is to keep the reps up.

You will get pitched, but good coaches want you to get some reps first or else they aren't really coaching you, they are educating you and you can do that part for free.

Things in your tax filing need to be really off to do this.Being a REP/active participant and using cost seg to offset a spouses (or your own if that's all you do) W-2 wages is fairly common practice.

My rep was very clear with me that it is a beginner course and that they also offer a more expensive course for experienced wholesalers.

Ultimately, when I'm repping a buyer, I always recommend the buyer checks with the zoning when any zoning issues come up. 

Over my time (over 30 years), if your lender will make a call to the seller/seller's rep to explain the level of due diligence we've done on the buyer usually goes a long way.

Here’s why and what alternatives might exist:Real Estate Syndication or Fund: Invest in funds that generate passive rental income, which can offset Schedule E losses.Real Estate Professional (REPS): Qualify for REPS to reclassify rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I went through the training module and didn't see that as a submittable claim, but it's a good question - I'll have to ask my rep about that.  

You should keep saving, get pre-approved so you know where you stand, and start working with an investor-friendly agent to show you homes so you get some reps in.
