100 % home office used for: landlord business (rentals - Schedule E); Consulting business (Schedule C) and investing (not a business).
Question: Since Home Office not used 100 % for consulting - (60% time for consulting and 40% rentals and investing) is a prorated deduction still allowed for Consulting and zero for the other 2 activities?

Tell him to stop investing. He's losing a fortune, anyway.
