Hello, I’m new to the real estate industry, and I am 22 yrs old, and I am trying to get my first deal in wholesaling houses. 

Plus, this is your industry now (if you continue doing it).

If I work in a real estate related industry full time, but do not own any part of apartments I manage full time, does that still count toward the hour requirement set by the IRS?

I am reaching out on BiggerPockets for a possible part time employment or opportunity to gain more experience in the real estate industry.

@Rachel Campagnolo, In order to qualify for 1031 treatment the taxpayer for the old property has to be the same as the tax payer for the new property. 

I'm looking to do what the industry refers to as BRRRR investing.About me: I've spent 15 years in multifamily, commercial and single family property management, from 2005-present.

Just as many pro-STR proponents attended the legislative hearings as anti-STR folks, so it's a big industry here that individual homeowners are trying to protect.Happy to talk more about all this and answer any questions.Melanie

Therefore, treatment will mirror your own personal residence (i.e. most expenses will be personal in nature and non-deductible).Any rent she does pay you is taxable in full with no deductions to offset.Then you contend with the gift tax issues.Generally not a good idea to rent to family, but if you do, make sure the rents are fair market. 

But that' doesn't excuse a sloppy in experienced QI who is about to cost you more than you're probably saving by using them.There has been a convention for the list and how it looks and has evolved in the mainstream QI industry. 

I am a professional economic developer in the City of Rockville, so I have decent knowledge of the commercial real estate industry due to my interactions with brokers and landlords.
