I have personally used these policies to fund investments and renovations. 

As my avg rental period is <8 days, and I have <14 days personal use at the property and believe I can meet the material participation test, this should be a non-passive activity.Specific Questions on Material Participation:1) Do hours logged for material participation in 2022 include time prior to placing the property in service (i.e. first half of 2022)?

Say someone has $20,000 cash and its just sitting there, and cant be used for retirement accounts because they are maxed, and the person has no debt.

I'm, personally, an investor in Midwest markets were I can still cash flow immediately.

@Daniel Stoychev for me personally I’m open to investing most anywhere if the deal is right by the choice between Cook County or not Cook county I will always go with not Cook County. 

Any recommendation for a good preferably open source rental management software that primarily handles back end accounting? 

I personally don't like condos for a rental property.HOA feesHOA rules that can change.

Correct, which means that "not on your personal record" is not actually factual.

I don't think there's a real way to verify if they handled it or not.

The Issues between tenants and landlords typically are handled at the county court level.
