If I work in a real estate related industry full time, but do not own any part of apartments I manage full time, does that still count toward the hour requirement set by the IRS?

I am reaching out on BiggerPockets for a possible part time employment or opportunity to gain more experience in the real estate industry.

I'm looking to do what the industry refers to as BRRRR investing.About me: I've spent 15 years in multifamily, commercial and single family property management, from 2005-present.

Most policies have a business pursuits exclusion, so your agent needs to know that you expect this to cover your "business" property and activities as well as your personal property and activities.

I largely pulled out of stocks and almost exclusively RE since 20173.

Just as many pro-STR proponents attended the legislative hearings as anti-STR folks, so it's a big industry here that individual homeowners are trying to protect.Happy to talk more about all this and answer any questions.Melanie

You can't rent the house out forever and then move back into it for 2  years then expect a full capital gains exclusion.

But that' doesn't excuse a sloppy in experienced QI who is about to cost you more than you're probably saving by using them.There has been a convention for the list and how it looks and has evolved in the mainstream QI industry. 

I am a professional economic developer in the City of Rockville, so I have decent knowledge of the commercial real estate industry due to my interactions with brokers and landlords. 

@Nikolai Sazonov I think this is the same as with any other industry.
