I only recently became licensed, so I would have a long way to go in order to comply with the 2-year experience requirement, but I have been an active investor for 5 years so I am wondering if I would fall within the 3 year exemption, below:- Have at least two years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least three years of experience in the general real estate field or a combination of both- Meet the minimum points required for the experience type (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer)Thanks in advance! 

Also the expenses should be reported to the business activity (the property) they legally are generated from; not necessarily the entity they are paid through. 

All real estate activities you engage in ad a licensee are subject to your broker supervision, and fall under the regulatory rules of your state's real estate commission or department of licensure.

I’m actively working on agent outreach and direct-to-seller approaches and would love to collaborate or learn more about your investing criteria.This community has been such a tremendous resource for me, and I’m eager to give back by helping others find great opportunities in Columbus.

I love that you have found passion in REI and have laid down a path to success with your three approaches.Of the 3 activities you are in, do you prefer one over the others? 

Also, it can avoid filing an amendment.Another great point on eligibility- SEP IRAs require net self-employment income from activities like 1099 contract work, real estate sales, wholesaling, or other self-employment business income.Passive income as you have highlighted, does not qualify. 

Hi Robert, in terms of the work that could be done easily I suggest activities such as painting, flooring if you have the proper tools, and tiling.

I presume your intention is to be an active investor who owns physical real estate and not someone who invests passively.

Quote from @Nicole Laba: I work with investors in Chicago who are actively buying off-market properties, and Ive noticed that everyone has a different approach when it comes to sourcing deals.

You have to work with someone that is experienced and very active in the field.
