Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have!

For example, if you had a full time job (2000 hours per year), you'd have to justify that you did 2001 hours doing real estate related activities.See the IRS' page regarding activities:  https://www.irs.gov/publications/p925#en_US_2022_publink1000...The other question is why are you have so much passive losses to bring onto your main 1040? 

I do have questions about tenant care if you dont mind.

That's a pretty big chunk of stuff to do and you'll probably have a million questions about things you discover while studying these things.Good Luck!
