Personally I think if you are providing a service to an owner in foreclosure disclose it and disclose your fee..

They also have couple of sister companies, DFY Service solutions and Mansa home solutions.

You'll be required to pay annual dues for MLS access and to keep your license active.

Hey @Chris Dawson, There is alot to unpack here, but please note your wife getting her real estate license in of it self does not qualify you to use those losses (created by a cost segregation) against your active income.

Marketing involves any activity around buying or selling a product or service.

Obtaining competent management was an issue, I have no confidence in the service personal in the local area.  

Even if you lived there, you have to be an active manager to have success for the neighborhood there as others have said above.

And when plumbing services are needed, great, now YOU TOO know a great plumber in the area, and so on.

FYI, changing from passive to active actviity, you won't be able to take those passive carryforward losses, until you go back to passive or sell all activities related to the losses.

@Joseph O'Sullivan owners should ask less questions about prices & services and more questions about how services are executed!
