Real Estate Professional Status, or REPS, is a special tax classification that lets qualifying real estate agents and investors use property losses to offset active income.

To qualify, you must spend more than 750 hours per year in real estate activities and ensure that over half of your working time is devoted to the real estate business.

The benefit? Those who qualify can apply property-related deductions — such as depreciation — directly against their commissions or other active income. This means lower taxes, higher cash flow, and more flexibility to reinvest in growing your portfolio.

What is real estate professional status, how do you qualify, and what are the benefits?

Real estate professionals with REP status already know the power of depreciation — but few take full advantage of bonus depreciation. It’s a tax incentive that lets you write off a large portion of your investment in the first year, reducing your taxable income while your money continues to grow.
