In this business of real estate the IRS needs to know you are not simply treating this kind of business as a hobby and getting paid for it. Its important you start tracking your work hours and expenses.
In a business or tax context, Material Participation is the standard used by the IRS to determine if your involvement in an activity is active or passive. It basically boils down to whether you are doing the actual work on a "regular, continuous, and substantial" basis. If you meet the criteria, the activity is considered non-passive, which usually allows you to use business losses to offset other types of income (like a W-2 salary).
