@Manuel Castillo, it is a very active business.

From our side, we see so many investors who qualify without realizing it, especially when one spouse manages the rentals full-time.It’s not just about hitting the 750 hours; it’s about how you structure and document your activities.

They are trying to compare buying an actively managed business to investing in real estate, but those two things operate very differently.

I recently started wholesaling in the DFW area, I am actively searching for ways to connect with cash buyers in the area.

Yes, it’s definitely possible for your wife to gain REP status while working with an out-of-state property manager—as long as she’s actively involved in making investment decisions and managing the portfolio, the REP program allows for that kind of arrangement.

Activities like listening to real estate podcasts don’t count.

Hey everyone,From a lending standpoint, we’re noticing a clear slowdown in fix-and-flip activity here in San Diego.

You can time renovations, leverage cost segregation, and even qualify for active participation if you manage more closely.Turnkeys are fine for simplicity, but they’re not always the best from a tax efficiency standpoint unless you have other active real estate to offset the income.

I didn't keep the LLC active in Washington and now I am trying to do things the right way. 

Your buy box is solid, KC performs really well when you stick to value-add SFRs in stable C-class pockets.A few quick insights:• $1,100+ post-rehab rents are very doable in the right areas, especially if you’re open to Section 8• Wholesalers in KC are active, but the good deals move fast, relationships matter• Make sure you’re underwriting the actual rent, not “pro forma” rent (KC wholesalers love optimistic numbers)• Property management will make or break you out there, so don’t settle on that piece
