You give me rockstar deal we will clean the house out and even if there were satanic activities going on, we will pray for that house and dedicated it to Jesus."

I have active leads with wholesalers and other agents, but quite frankly their deals are not good.

Here’s why and what alternatives might exist:Real Estate Syndication or Fund: Invest in funds that generate passive rental income, which can offset Schedule E losses.Real Estate Professional (REPS): Qualify for REPS to reclassify rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Don't try to build a buyer's list with no experience and no active under contract.

Plus some of it, especially in Jeff Davis County, are on top of an active earthquake fault zone.

That is not a small thing.Banks are audited for “suspicious account activities” and a notice gets sent to the FBI.

I honestly wouldn't even trust anything QB is telling you when it comes to taxes.You're in a partnership, which acts like a conduit to pass through the income/loss of the activity to the individual owners.

I'm not sure if I am prepared to buy a property in Columbus on my own, but I may be more interested as an active or passive partner. 

@Mort McGuire Yes (JKP) we are also active.

Investors should be extremely cautious with Qualified Intermediaries that also represent (and get paid on) replacement property solutions or Qualified Intermediaries that refer clients to their "associates" or "friends" for replacement property solutions so that they can get paid a referral fee or those that actively put replacement property solutions together in order to make money.
