Highlights/Topics:

Are there any restrictions on being a real estate professional (REP) during retirement? No, if you are retired, not working anywhere else, and spending a substantial amount of time working on rentals; depending on amount of losses, you may not have to be a REP
Why would someone invest in a Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP)? How are they taxed? Is PTP a good option to invest in for diversity? Be careful, some PTPs are complex, but as far as traxation, there’s nothing special about PTPs - look at them from an investment, not a tax perspective
I have converted my primary home to a short-term rental (STR) this year.If I complete 100+ hours of material participation and more than anyone else, can I deduct the losses from my W-2 wages (active income)? Yes, but if it’s rental income and you accelerate depreciation, you could lose your REP status
I plan to donate my timeshare. Does that relieve me of my maintenance fee yearly? There are two types of timeshares - right to use and for deed; the nonprofit may use them personally, within the entity, or sell it to a third-party - know who is taking over the liability/responsibility of the asset
