Can H4 qualify for real estate professional?

Hi all,

I am on a H1b visa W2 income. Spouse H4 visa no EAD stay- home-mum. We have been working together in acquiring investment properties. Can she qualify as a real estate professional under IRS rule to reduce tax burden on my W2 income? 

I know I should ask a tax professional. Wondering if anyone has been in similar situation and their experience

Thanks in advance
