It sounds like you’re aiming to offset your W-2 income with potential real estate losses, which can be tricky if you don’t qualify as a Real Estate Professional.To qualify as a Real Estate Professional, you or your spouse need to spend more than 50% of your working hours and at least 750 hours annually on real estate activities.

Hello All,I am a 28 year old in commercial construction (project management).

I'm an agent in Oklahoma and we have a Seller Finance addendum written up by the state real estate commission that functions just like an FHA or Conventional Loan addendum to a sales contract.This is, of course, standard when you purchase a home with bank financing.
