Do you qualify for real estate professional status?

You also need to use your social media wisely, not as spam.

As for a Home Owner Association (HOA), whether it needs to comply depends on its legal structure and tax status.

And there are syndicators out there that have long, strong track records, that spend more time operating than marketing, that aren't selling their guru courses and the syndications are just social proof as to why you should spend $30k on their course.But the flip side of this risk is time.  

After researching further though on social media and then criminal records I found about 12 previous arrests and numerous convictions burglary, theft, criminal trafficking, molestation (don't think convicted), battery. 

My spouse is trying to meet real estate professional status with the goal of offsetting my W2 income tax. 

If you associate his name with an article and its on a reputable website (news) or even just their social media, it's a quick google search for his name by a PM, landlord or interested LP to throw up red flags.

They offer you Co-GP status of course!

Try some Ohio REI meetups or social groups—you’ll pick up a lot.

One notable exception is that nonpassive losses can offset anything, which explains our current obsession with STRs.Specifically to your questions.1 - No, cannot apply PAL against dividends/interest but probably can apply PAL against your K1 income (as long as it distributes ordinary business income and not interest/dividends)2 - STRs do not unlock prior year PAL, and neither does Real Estate Professional status, by the way.
