I do not make as much money as the guys in the hood, but I have a lot less stress per unit and the checks come to my office on time for the most part on the first of the month.

I might be wrong here (I'm also a Realtor so I get the exception already) but if you are actively involved in the management of your properties, defined by some level of effort maybe 500 hours a year, then you too are exempt from the passive losses limit--essentially because they are not passive, they are from something in which you are actively engaged.If you do your own property management, fix-it stuff, and finances, you are probably exempt from the $25,000 / yr limit.

I work with a lot of investors--and as we all know, active investors are alway looking for new money and programs.

This thread is over 7 years old Corey Fishbein...you may want to start a new thread or look for more recent ones if you are looking for local investors that are active BP members.

You know I was thinking about this just earlier today...Here in the Dayton market there are a lot of distressed sales that happen every day (there is a lot of foreclosure activity).

Not only do they make money working the land, but also buy charging people to do things like run around in corn mazes and the like.I was just curious what other activities people create for this "agritourism"?

I know how confusing, tiring, and STRESSFUL it is to start in real estate, especially investing in RE.

With no disrespect to Nate in my reply...I am an expert in this field (I stress TEXAS is my area I claim expert status in) and there is a BIG difference between a "pre" foreclosure and a "Foreclosure" as you worded it.The term Foreclosure is the legal process a lender must take to legally repo a house.
