Add to this that you can cash-out refinance on your R/E asset and pay no taxes on the withdrawal of capital and then re-invest the proceeds, and have the ability to use (TODAY) the investments outside of your retirement account, it seems to me there's no comparison. 

@Kaveh E.

When I enter this information in TurboTax under the 1099-Misc income section, I see my tax due amount spin upward despite the fact that I have accumulated nearly 70K in passive losses this year.Or, instead of entering this 1099-Misc income in TurboTax under the 1099 section, do I simply add it as another asset in Schedule E and use the gross amounts provided in the 1099 as my gross rents?

The juice is not worth the squeeze.

Can the resulting Schedule D gains be written off against Schedule E loss carryforwards?  

Needless to say, there really aren't any more in the Springs or N/E/W of town so I've also been starting to look at properties in Pueblo.

Our building is not held in any corporate or LLC structure, so we just file a schedule E with our return.I was wondering if there was a way to take some of the income from the building and pay ourselves a nominal amount that we could report on our schedule C's using a 1099-misc?

Low odds, but you decide if the juice if worth the squeeze!
