the activity is a personal service activity and the individual participated in it for any 3 prior years consecutive or not.  


I disagree. 

 

The activity here is a rental real estate activity (assuming no significant services are rendered to the tenants), not a personal service activity. Thus, the requirement of #6 is not met.

 

Unless more than 100 hours are spent on performing rental-related tasks on the property, such as repairs, cleaning, maintenance (and the like), the requirement of #7 is also not met (management and administrative tasks do not count toward the 100 hours).
