Quote from @Pierre E.: I am trying to learn and understand... someone told me that its not just size of the home or level of the flip that determines profit, and that in some markets, what is considered a typical profit is 300k based on the 70% ARV formula.

It fills out your Schedule E to send off to your CPA every year!

But these two live and work it and dont sell e ducation.

.: Hi All,Is there any way to structure a private lending arrangement so that income is considered passive (by IRS standards) and can offset accumulated schedule E losses?

@Angelo CortezYou can still deduct, however STRs are reported on Schedule E, not Schedule C.The IRS expects you to file 1099s even without SSNs - which I personally always found to be puzzling.

Its a scare tactic and she is trying to bully you into letting her get away with this BS.You need to screen WAY better and/or hir e PM for future tenants. 

I spoke with Daniel E who seemed like a nice guy but as I learned more he told me there was a $1200 yearly fee to be a member.

And if someone clicks to schedule a showing it has a form to capture there information that goes into a crm that then starts a "prospect tenant" followup campaign including response text instantly to interrupt there search knowing we got there request and check there e-mail where we send followup information, links, directions etc etc. 

The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.
