Hello all,Has anyone sold a short term rental owned over a year  as a non real estate professional that qualified as short term capital gains tax deductions with expenses and depreciation?

RentRedi checked all the boxes for me, RentRedi made this first time property novice, show up as a complete professional management service.I can list my property Receive/review Pre-qual apps, full application and access to the background check with ease.Schedule showings, send approval emailsSet up my rentals and collect rent electronically.Handle maintenance and so much more all through the RentRedi app.

Readers should seek professional advice.

Any guidance from experienced investors, real estate professionals, or anyone who has faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. 

Once you find someone willing to let you shadow them, approach it with professionalism and a willingness to learn.

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

Can this person now be "a real estate" professional? 

Be professional, but also authentic and approachable.

Licenses are typically required if you plan to work in a professional real estate role, like as an agent or broker.

I have over 30 years professional experience so not taking anything personal.You have corrected nothing.
