I can only imagine trying to work out the growing / learning pains of RE when I'm also paying 2 car loans...if I close my eyes and picture that scenario, it doesn't look fun or pretty.Thanks again!

Is IRS more interested that Charles makes more sales in his real estate brokerage or the time he records of how much he spent on his real estate business to be considered a real estate professional in the eyes of the IRS.This is a no brainer if Charles has a full time job as an engineer, but what if he owns two corporations where he allocates 60% of his time in real estate activities?

I'll say too, that a money guy who never really gets involved, just writes a check and shows up is not the entrepreneur of the deal, thier assessment of the deal is as a lender, covering thier interests, don't count that function twice as underwriting the money and the overall success of the project, that's like selling the ice cream and then charging for keeping it frozen.And, in all fairness, I'd say that any profits remaing, unassigned by function, would be split 50/50, the value of being together in a partnership, might say the cost of putting up with each other!
