About ten years ago, I would run newspaper ads every weekend for open houses.

I understand the poor very well, since I was charged with oversight of over 1200 public housing units as a commissioner, a very active commissioner at that!

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).

I spent the weekend at a friends house that he bought a year and a half ago for $450k in the LA area, that is now worth $1.2 milion.

You know, just the guys hanging out for the weekend.
