Real Estate Professional Status/Time Tracking

Posted Aug 26 2020, 05:41

Any recommendations on the most efficient way to track your time when classified as a real estate professional? My accountant wants me to start doing this in the event of an audit being I’m starting larger projects and will be implementing cost segregation

Thanks

I use the RESPtracker app. You can break it out by general RE activities and material participation. It also has a dashboard where you can see how far along you are with meeting the 750 hours requirement with at least 500 hours in material participation and 250 hours in general participation. I like the app, but wish I could upload a CSV rather than manually enter time for each day.

@Caleb Genry It would be incredibly helpful for you to share this spreadsheet with me.  I was hoping it would be posted somewhere in the forum so I wouldn't have to bother you directly but it does not seem to be.

Thanks for contributing to the Bigger Pockets community in this way.  =)

 JC - I just got the app today after coming across it in this discussion and noticed that (although it's not on the mobile app) the desktop website has a tab to upload a csv file to import entries. Hope that helps!

Folks, it really is a simple listing of how any hours you put in and what date.  There’s no magic potion.

We have a good sized portfolio and i left my corporate job in 2021.  After talking to my accountant we feel confident we meet the requirements. I've also launched a residential real estate painting company. My question for the group is would my hours as a contractor also count twoards the needed 750 hours?

Thanks all!
