Real Estate Professional Definition for dummies
Greetings,
Can someone explain what the underlined phrase below means in simpler English? :)
A qualified real estate professional is a taxpayer who owns at least one interest in rental real estate that:
- - Performs more than 50% of their personal services in real estate trades or businesses in which they materially participate, AND
- - Spends more than 750 hours of services during the tax year in real property trades or businesses in which the taxpayer materially participates.
Thank you,
Azin
