Eric BroughtonGUEST
So the 750 hour rule is that is the IRS's designation of whether or not they consider you a real estate professional without licensing.

Eric BroughtonGUEST
So if you can show through use of calendar, email correspondence, things of that nature, phone call logs, whatever you may have.

Eric BroughtonGUEST
that you have put in 750 hours, which comes out to be about 14.5 hours a week in management, scheduling, conflict resolution for your rental properties, then the IRS can consider you to be a real estate professional.

Eric BroughtonGUEST
That immediately moves you out of the non-passive or passive into non-passive.

Eric BroughtonGUEST
