Quote from @Courtland Wilson: Hi Sergey,Are these meetups still active currently?

There is no sewer easement or anything recorded that my active line is there. 

I'm not sure if I am prepared to buy a property in Columbus on my own, but I may be more interested as an active or passive partner. 

Here’s why and what alternatives might exist:Real Estate Syndication or Fund: Invest in funds that generate passive rental income, which can offset Schedule E losses.Real Estate Professional (REPS): Qualify for REPS to reclassify rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Don't try to build a buyer's list with no experience and no active under contract.

I honestly wouldn't even trust anything QB is telling you when it comes to taxes.You're in a partnership, which acts like a conduit to pass through the income/loss of the activity to the individual owners.

Whether the situation was an accident or not, owning the outcome is crucial.

I would do this first before engaging an agent unless you are extremely active.

I'm an active-duty military (retiring soon).

Focus on connecting with investors, flippers, and landlords who are actively buying.
