Why buy something that is new with active and confirmed contamination underneath it.

@Jon AveretteGreat to see that you’re from Tuscaloosa—I’m active in the area as well!

Nice to see that you are active in the forums.

What actions and/or credentials make a landlord an active property manager to deem rental income/loss active in CA?

@Victor Tofilski Zillow only shows 3 active rental in Pickney right now, so not a lot of competition.Given that, wouldn't worry about your pics and such - but, the advice given by others you should implement going forward.As others have also said, Nov-Feb is worse 4 months of the year to have a vacancy.- LESSON: don't allow leases to end during these months!

Is it not the actively working and realistic practice used all the time?

Scott, I am active in the Houston market.

I'd love to become an active member in the community not only in person but also throughout the forums.Don't be shy and say hello... it's good to be here. 

I am a private Monday lender and NMLS licensed ( not active) Mortgage banker so I know a little about this I started in private money in Oakland CA in 1987 and have done well over 3000 loans to various clients in 25 states and this is me personally not selling a system so others can do it..

The gist of it is that when you dispose of your entire interest in a passive activity in a fully taxable (as opposed to a tax-deferred) transaction to a non-related party, i.e., selling a non-grouped rental property in a taxable sale to a non-related party, both current and suspended passive activity losses generated by that activity can be deducted.
