Does renting a room to an adult child qualify as being a landlord

[Ernesto Correa]

Hello,

I am currently renting a room to my adult child and was wondering if this qualifies me to be able and take the tax benefits of a RE "investor".

Thanks

@Ernesto Correa You do realize you’d have to first claim the rent as income on your taxes, right? How do you think this will benefit you?
