Some real-estate professionals say they are being mistaken for sometime investors by the Internal Revenue Service, and that could prohibit them from taking advantage of certain tax and economic benifits.
Consider the case of of David Friedman, a real-estate broker and property owner in Los Angeles. Like many professionals in the business, he not only sells homes to consumers, he also buys and sells undeveloped land and owns single-family homes that he rents out. He says he works every day and has amassed holdings in Southern California and Oklahoma that are valued at $20 million.
Will Hicks is an affiliate real estate broker licensed in the State of Tennessee. Prior to his career transition into real estate, Hicks was a SCUBA Instructor with the International ALERT Academy of Big Sandy, Texas and the National Academy of Police Diving, based in Miami, Florida.
Hicks says he’s been asked many times about the odd transition from SCUBA Instructor to Real Estate Agent. “Teaching people how to SCUBA dive was the most fun 10 years of my life. But you can’t eat fun.” You can’t pay the rent with it either.
