To be fair, I had aggressively protested in prior years, and Dallas County has gotten very difficult to get any leniency out of.Bottom line, there is no magic to it.

But real world there are turnover expenses that take time like repainting/ cleaning etc that you cant magically do in a day.

A few years later, my piggy bank had magically grown large enough for a down payment on my first home.

Actually, the IRS does not characterize anyone as a dealer, but instead looks at each transaction to determine whether the taxpayer ACTED as a dealer to real estate for that transaction.In a nutshell, property you acquire with the intent to resell is dealer realty and you are acting as a dealer to real estate for that transaction.Draw your own inference from the IRS definition of a "dealer disposition" in Section 453 of the Internal Revenue Code which defines a dealer disposition as ANY disposition of real property held primarily for sale to customers.So to answer your question, the word ANY in this definition tells me that the magic number is ONE.If you are flipping you are a dealer.

Get at least 3-5 bids from people with good rep like service magic.

I titled it "Magic House for Sale".  

Now people are sick of the pitches, but since there is an endless supply of newbies willing to pay for a magic bullet, this type of group still exists. 

I'm not saying it's the "BEST AND ONLY MAGICAL MARKET!!" 

Then you go into it with knowledge rather than assumptions.Though I do wonder if you could get the arc-welding tenant to work together with the tree-cutting one and make magic!

Any help would be highly appreciated and if you're a lawyer that wants to make a quick $100 to send them some sort of legal magic, please help!!
