I just get hundred e mails a day so I don't need a bunch of wholesalers clogging my in box.. 

@Darren CusanelliThere is no checklist for this, other than check that he uses Schedule E, and there is some number in the line named "depreciation."

@Ratna E.

If it is Schedule E, you still have to disclose the income and expense separately anyways.

The home is zoned for two units (E-TU-C).

But this is the same basic list that I talk about quite regularly with others:1) Public REITs2) Direct Ownership of small properties3) SyndicationsTo me:1) Public REITs - typically fairly low dividend yield, strong correlation to equities market, high volatility, no pass through losses2) Direct Ownership - debatable how passive it really is3) Syndications - possibly high barrier of entry (accredited investor and/or high minimum), limited transparency, illiquid, no controlAnd then you can get into tax effects with 1099 vs K-1 vs direct Schedule E from a P&L
