.: 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?

@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

But maybe its worth it if you don't have a place to get hard/private money for deals. 

I have had a few people reach out privately who have signed up. 

I have been receiving wrong accommodations and prices because because their personal life background, they were incapable of screening me nonetheless I had good credit and clear profile, they were just discriminating on the basis of their scarce preparation to human situation and so by their presuppositions, that's probably also illegal.You cannot say landlords are to be forgiven because they are doing a needed service, instead it's for that very reason they have to admit their fault and change their way of behave: if a business owner is occupying the market with bad practices and wrong services it's likely they need to leave their place and let others settle in who can operate the business correctly, their even more such of problem if their services is basic, but it's quite absurd it's on me to explain you this.Landlords would have to better understand theirs are affairs on a public market, it's not private or personal matter, and as so they have to behave buy clearly stated rules or face immediate consequences.

Quote from @Marshall Robins: We can go up to 50% LTV as a private lender for what it's worth.

They have good customer service, good online access, and take series LLCs.

Searching online for terms such as “real estate investment firms”, “real estate syndicators”, “real estate private equity” and most likely about a dozen or more other search terms should reveal the websites of many syndication sponsors.News Articles.

To the greedy ones, don't get any ideas, just an example that a bank still has a duty to customers not to put them in a situation of having to deal with an untrustworthy party.

Our private money lender on this flip was very reasonable through this whole process, as we had to navigate many gray areas and difficult decisions.
