Is the listing agent going to have their best interests in mind? 

We met all non-passive requirements and can provide proof to show that our projected annual materially-active involvement is at least 500 for 2023.We met with our CPA and he brought to our attention that we had a loss of -$107k.

This broadens your knowledge and gives you the chance to interact with like-minded people.Look for mentors with real estate investing experience in the Houston region.

I'm currently exploring property investment opportunities in Ohio and actively seeking a buyer's agent to collaborate with.

Overall I definetly have this in the back of my mind, but agree with you that this could be a stretch and may be more advantageous to build reserves and save more $ for a down payment.

Ex. you normally do STRs and you are looking to finance a mixed-use multifamily deal, and you don't mind paying the 2% in broker fees to lock down financing.

In 2023, I did 18 transactions(Top 500 of ~15,000 agents), and manage 13 rental properties for other individuals.As an Individual, I also own 5 additional rental properties that I also self manage.The reason I would like REPS is because Ive got about 200k in passive losses(100k just in 2023 as I fully remodeled one of the rentals and partial reno of another) I would like to apply towards our household W2 income(600k) Overall, I feel like I could definitely qualify but I definitely lack detailed time log of all activities.

Most buyer's can't afford to pay the differnce and selling agents desperate for a deal don't seem to mind.  

That meant the person who bought it also took that 100k debt (potentially). mind-boggling.
