Curious if anyone in this forum can help us consider whether these activities to count toward the qualification of real estate professional (1-3 is more clear, but not sure we can gain the 50% participation hours needed over the part time job right now): 1) Advertise bookings on all channels (VRBO, etc), maintain all listing details and rates including researching surrounding properties and using technology tools to stay competitive. 2) Updating blogs on our sites and others related to our property listing for demand generation.3) Personally manage our own bookings we secure (this one is more clear to us)4) This is the big question - we use Ring surveillance on the outside front and rear property.

Only issue is that the rents are barely covering the mortgage payments it seems.

We would love to participate.

Hey everyone, Bare with me for this long story...

In a volatile flippers market I'd look for markets that are good both for flipping and BRRRR (as exist strategy in case the market goes down in the time between buy and sell).Bare in mind that different classes may mean different locations.

Then you will know the bare bones minimum, 

In this very bare market, multiple homes are going for over asking and over appraisal price. 

With the average single family home in Vancouver now well over $1M, I'm wondering how to source equity contributors or partners to come up with that kind of capital, or how average investors are even participating in the market beyond 1 purchase?
