Don't go deleting e-mails, and stop listening to people on online forums.

You do not have the liberty to refuse taking on additional clients as an employee.FYI, many brokerages will not let you manage your own property as it increases liability and raises E+O insurance rates.

For example, if I had a borrower's tax returns with rental income, but did not show any rental houses on my assets, I'd attach a sheet saying something like, "Rental income on Schedule E of 2015 tax return was from house located at 123 Elm Street, Small Town, USA.

@Brian E. - Hi Brian - I'm in the same situation right now.

Also, the tenant has the option of delivering the rent directly to me if they know the e-payment will be late. 

I am trying to think of a creative way to put a property "in service" to be able to claim schedule E deductions.

Thanks @Hank Silva@William E. - interesting idea but unfortunately it wouldn't really work in the space.

If adjusted gross income is over 150k, no loss is allowed on schedule E, unless you are a real estate professional.

I think that would be a great start, they need buyers, perhaps after meeting or speaking with you, they will put you on their e-mail list.
