The attorney representing the owners of the office downstairs were threatening to sue me.So, I engaged my attorney to deal with the issue.  

We don't charge any  up-front fees for this and it shouldn't be necessary, but do watch out for the upfront non-refundable "commitment fee" or "engagement fee."

If your realtor is listing it for free and not helping, that's not much help since leaving you to screen tenants and run through leads is like asking you to perform knee surgery, you don't know what you are doing.All rental listings should get bombarded on Zillow Rental Manager and HotPads, etc in the first week so if you have limited activity, your price is either too high or the photos are bad and the copy about the place is bad.Use something like RentSpree from screening.

Since Joe is not a registered lender, Joe is not held to the same standards as a lender and the sale could be a wreckless and poor activity by the bank putting Bob in that situation.

For example, if you are an active investor you can still find deals but they may not have quite as high of returns as we had become accustomed to in the previous years on average.

In the meantime if anyone else has advice on how to get active income from Reap Estate feel free to pass along🙂.

@Andres Felipe Alba Hernandez Yes, neighborhood covenants can sometimes restrict certain activities, including short-term rentals (STRs) or renting out parts of a home, even in areas without a Homeowners Association (HOA).

Regarding your second question, are you asking if those activities help meet the IRS material participation tests or qualify you as a real estate professional?
