I think its highly regional.. if your in Napa or Sonoma people go there to drink wine.. so I think it would be no issue.. same with Walla Walla area of E Washington. not sure how anyone drinks those sweet wines  though you get back east LOL..

Which ever home you choose as the main home it will be a tax deduction so it should work out in the long run.Another thing to consider is having two primary homes does not offer a great Schedule E option where you can have the bigger tax shelter.

Actually, YES, not only MAY the act of simply showing a property factually create "procuring cause" and be inclusive of a protected list, BUT just the action of having sent an e-mail of the listing, client having opened and seen that listing, not ever setting foot on premises, YES, that alone CAN be "procuring cause" and LEGALLY include such property into a protected list.

Quote from @Josh E.: Hey Noah, No, I like the location - it's 20 minutes to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, airport, etc.

I've seen folks create their own management company to convert the Schedule E income to Schedule C (or w-2 if it's an S-Corp), but how does being an agent help with that? 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy golfing and going to my son's sports games.Excited to learn and connect with you all!
