Edna from Texas asks the following question: I am a healthcare provider and if I work full time as a health care provider and work 15-20 hours a week on my real estate business would I be considered a real estate professional?
A: Perhaps. The rule is that you must spend more time on your real estate than you do in your other business/job. So, in your case, if you spend 20 hours per week in real estate, then you would have to spend less than 20 hours per week in your health care business. You should easily meet the 750 hour rule if you make the proper election to aggregate your properties (for more on this, go to http://www.ProVisionWealth.com/wealthstrategyu).
In addition, you have to make sure that at least some of your real estate activity pertains to operations (e.g., property management) and not just investing activities (e.g., bookkeeping).
Warmest regards,
Tom

Well, it's been about two years since I even thought about these things. Brings some ideas to mind and also reminds me I need to get off my rump. You perhaps didn't mean it that way, but I'm pleased to have run across ya!

I truly such as the fresh perpective you do about the issue. Truly was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were simple to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to find out that there's a blogger out there that definitely understands what he's discussing. Great job.
