These passive sydications should generate passive losses for most people, those exceptions being folks who qualify for REPS AND are properly participating in and electing the rental activity 

I am a Realtor qualifying for REPS and my husband did all the labor material participation in the property.

Hi All,Looking to buy a STR at the Jersey Shore this year, meet the material participation requirement/100 hrs, and take bonus depreciation on the unit for 2024.

Most BS gurus either don't participate at all our only show up when their program is called into question2.

I will participate in these deals.  

I have a hard time imagining that I would not meet the qualification of "Material Participation in Real Estate" as a real estate professional, which would allow me to apply the bonus deprecation toward my earned income as a real estate professional.

Then the key is that :1) you do active participation and not passive investment (eg: flip, rehab to rent and so on)2) leverage, but here is the key to do able to leverage there's time constrain, that time constrain is spread between notes/Fed Rate with cap rate ; that "window" create sizeable future appreciation of property.3) buy in good location, for example, buy only in DOM market where DOM is less than 5.by doing these three combined then we can always beat the stock market index.This is why if we're using statistical average as passive investment,stock market would better perform than real estate.But when we're the developer or active owners, then we could beat the stock market index. ...Also what's funny about stock market index is that the index is being helped by the top 4% that produces return (in today's example is the magnificent 7), as the number of top 4% keeps changing every decade or so, it creates a phenomenon as well that the best passive investment is always stock market index.

Aware of any networking events/groups I should try to participate in?

I was told that offerings that we see on sites like fundrise may be inexperienced or not the best syndicators that may prey on inexperienced investors who don't have the ability to participate in syndications because of a lack of substantial capital and that capable syndication operators would not resort to posting on sites like that because they have a group of investors that trust them and they don't have to share a fee to the site.

Ironically, before the last modifications of the forums were implemented, BP invited the main contributors to each forum to participate in a conference call with CEO Scott Trench to give feedback about the changes.
