They installed a small job granite countertop for us on a rental in Raleigh, and they serve the Fuquay area 45 minutes from their office.

The least they can do is take 15 minutes out of their schedule ONCE per month and go deposit the rent.Good luck!

According to the IRS rules, if you spend at least 750 hours on your real estate business, and more time than any other job or business, you are considered a "real estate professional" and can deduct the losses as active losses against active income.

Right now, I have a couple W2 jobs.  

Note the lath stuck up in the cavities from previous repairs: the guys that rigged the last repair job didn't even carry that out.

Not to mention the fact that $160k to $250k in the next 5 years is not likely to occur as we are at peak market prices and short of a major break through in technology and jobs, salaries won't support that without a significant correction first.

Hey Nicholas, Aaron from visionary plumbing did a good job for me.

I'll keep my full time job and keep saving for the next one.

Rentals that are in my name only, Schedule E deductions are pretty straight forward.

I am having issues getting pre-approved through a bank as I only have one year W2 job history and two years self employment history, even though I have 660 credit 10K saved and we'll make around 70 K this year all income combined.
