A short YouTube presentation (by Chris Larsen) explaining that most rental income is treated as passive for tax purposes, so passive losses generally can only offset passive income and cannot offset W-2 or ordinary business income. The speaker outlines two primary ways to treat a real-estate investment as active for tax purposes: (1) qualify as a real estate professional by spending 750+ hours per year on real estate activities, or (2) operate short-term/vacation rentals (rented for seven days or less) with the owner/spouse managing the property.
