Currently working 12-14 hour days, 5 days a week, and with such limited free time, I feel like a selfish dad not spending time with my wife and children.

Hi tax pros - I have a question about REPS status.First, selfishly, do you believe that my job as CEO of BiggerPockets, which I spend obviously spend essentially all working hours on, and dwarfs activities involving my real estate portfolio (which is managed via a property manager) qualifies me for REPS status?

Also, call me selfish, but I don't want to waste my time investigating or learning about someone, when they haven't even seen the place and liked it, and stated they want to move forward.     

But surely these are already on your alerts list:  genius, whiner, whining, bored, boring, lame, non-contributor, apathy, apathetic, me, mine, selfish, all about me...

It is RARE if you are a selfish prick that uses others for your benefits.

@Ola Dantis I am also a little disappointed that Baltimore wasn't on the list (for selfish reasons being a current investor in that market lol)@Russell Brazil besides three separate localities on the list, Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post and a house in Washington DC.

If so, I could see why they would be hogged by a selfish individual.I'm not suggesting you start charging or putting in coin operated machines, but just a thought.I do like the idea of establishing and communicating rules/etiquette.

Please pardon me if that seems callous and selfish but I’m a republican capitalist so I don’t believe in ~hope and change~You see I’m not smart enough to play the stock market ( I can barely string sentences together on this message board) and I can’t throw a piece of inflated leather 80 yards  down a field , or slam dunk a basketball so looks like I’m stuck renting out these dumpy houses to idiots with non opposing thumbs to make extra money for the remainder of my life .

Everyone is selfish deep down.

I have a feeling that you are going to be extremely rich in a few years because you are not selfish, and you are willing to share your experience and knowledge with the BP community free of charge.
