I've used their services for a number of years with good results@Sean Walton, ringcentral does support receiving fax as well as sending. 

Well all of you tax pros--a question.

I’m a buy and hold as well but if it doesn’t make dollars…I also factor if the neighborhood is growing, is anything bringing appreciation.  

I'm facing a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice from this knowledgeable community.

I'd recommend looking at larger deals and talk to lenders that work in the space in general. we do smaller tracts of infill land downtown but most of those are also better off by going vertical as well depending on the street they have frontage on. 

Hi,I’m at a crossroads with a startup idea I’m passionate about and could really use some advice from this knowledgeable community.I’m currently working on building a platform aimed at revolutionizing the way we approach real estate investment.

I could theoretically run my own electrical as well, but I would never do that because there is nothing DIY for that, and there would be a serious risk to doing that - so I had a certified electrician run my electric lines. 

He is a Real Down to earth guy and always ready and welling to help.

Changed the lock without my knowledge and will not give the key to it.

Under the IRS rules, a person  qualifies as a real estate professional if: (1) more than one-half of the personal services the taxpayer performs in trades or businesses during the tax year are in real property trades or businesses in which the taxpayer materially participates, AND.....(2) hours spent providing personal services in real property trades or businesses in which the taxpayer materially participates total more than 750 during the tax year.Like @Greg Scott and @Russell Brazil mentioned above, I don't believe that you would qualify as a REPS, but if you are going to try it, make sure you document it very well (i.e. with some kind of proof, like time cards, mileage forms, and/or receipts, etc.) so that just in case you do get audited, you at least have something to provide to the IRS agent.
