They willingly participated in cutting you out.

Hello all,I want to participate in a tax sale in Maryland.

Be a DON'T WANT-ER - always be willing and ready to walk if you can't get a good deal - And understand that you can always come back to that seller later and begin Second Stage NegotiationsAsk the 7 wordsAlways consider a subject to offerAlways ask for seller financingUse the Study Period Clause with right of possession to control properties without cashOffer seller participation - this is a great way to close dealsOffer something other cash - a note secured by your other equities, an unsecured note, a Principal only mortgage (using this technique you can offer more for the building since you are not paying interest - and as you know a direct reduction mortgage will pay off much faster.

I see the IRS regs about rental activities being defined as passive, but I don't see anything about a lower rate.I just see that this "passive activity" distinction subjects us to "passive activity loss rules", which limit our ability to offset other types of income with net passive losses.But even that limitation is negated for us because we fall into the "active participation" exception, so we can offset our regular earned taxable income dollar-for-dollar with losses from our rental (if I understand the regs correctly).

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.  

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.
