Rental activity.Passive losses may only offset passive income, not active or portfolio.This is a problem for wage-earning real estate investors.So HOW DO I GET THOSE DEDUCTIONS?

You pay yourself a wage and further fund retirement accounts.

What are w aging to get out of this post?

@Kelly Claiborne I want to invest out of state but dont know about wage growth cities with low crime ar areas within thise cities.

After a few deals, I realized I was earning less than minimum wage most of the time.

I recall here stating his hourly wage an hours worked, but indeed I will need to see pay stubs and bank statements in the future .

So one months rent plus salary/hourly wage or is it 100% commission based?

For myself, I am a high income W2 earner and I currently have FEIE foreign income tax exclusion but at some point I have to be able to return to the USA fully or at least hedge against that possibility.

If they are not good tenants, the lease does not get renewed.When we determine the general direction for the year we look at:- inflation (US)- hourly wage growth (US)- market rent growth (in my case Milwaukee)We also monitor the market and our competition, we get feedback with every turnover and see what fair market value is.

Someone who is a very high W2 earner (e.g many of my younger tech friends) are fine with taking more risk, buying lots of OOS, scaling, etc.
