Passive Real Estate Investing TBT: Ask Marco - Qualifying for Real Estate Professional Status
In today’s throwback Thursday episode, Marco answers a question from Kelliane — an attorney-turned-entrepreneur who recently exited her eCommerce business and is now diving into consulting, podcasting, and building passive income through real estate. With her husband earning a high W-2 income in medical device sales, they’re exploring passive strategies like turnkey rentals, multifamily, syndications, and hard money lending — all while aiming for financial freedom in 5 to 7 years.
But there’s a challenge: how can they leverage the powerful tax benefits of real estate professional status (REPS) with mostly passive investments?
Marco unpacks the pros, cons, and creative solutions that could help Kelliane and others in similar situations get the best of both worlds — passive income and major tax savings.
👉 Don’t miss this deep dive into strategic real estate investing, tax optimization, and financial freedom!
