I have read a lot about advantage of claim "active participation", but no article about any pros on NOT claiming active participation.I have placed a couple of properties in service in 2019 and will have a loss that can offset up to 25,000 active income assuming i claim active participation (I am not a real estate professional and I know I cannot claim "material participation").

The savvy airbnb owners were already shifting to target the contract medical professionals, insurance claim people and other "longer term" short term renters.  

It is an unrealistic proposal to expect there is a way to sanitize an area like a normal residence.If there WAS a way to sanitize a public area effectively, we would have many fewer deaths at hospitals because of the contagion at hospitals.Broom clean is good enough!

Hi everybody,I have a question about Dr Cashflow, the program to rent 3 bedrooms in a (fully furnished) 3-br unit to the Federal Government to house disabled people.The sales hype seems to claim 3 times market rent compared to the same unfurnished unit rented to a family.Are you achieving 3 times the market rent for a 3 bedroom (or is this sales hype as in one guy did it one time kind of thing)?

Please please do not ever use a quit claim for anything except in divorce where one party relinquishes claim (quit claim).Always use a warrantee deed in both directions AND best to do this at the same attorney that closed this in the first place who issued the title insurance. 

In that case, can I claim the tax deduction ?

The contractor is probably outside of his ability to lien your property, so he can't tie up your equity, which leaves bringing a lawsuit - possibly small claims. 

They claim to not be a turnkey company and they want to work with you from start to finish and even help you manage your property.

If the items were small cosmetic issues, I would let it slide..... if these are big tickets items that they are claiming to have fixed but didn't , then its not a company I want to work with..... they are lying to your face and hoping you don't notice or don't care....

Also, a non-owner occupied loan over $650k at 4% is probably unrealistic unless I'm talking to the wrong lenders.
