back or writing prospective tenants. Additionally, it is likely
that petitioners received e-mail other than that relating to the
renting of their Hawaiian condominiums, and that such time was
included in the 225 hours allocated to checking the e-mail.
Finally, we are mindful that petitioners were full-time
employees, each working 40 hours per week, and were the sole
managers of their Camarillo, California, condominiums.
Using our best judgment, we find that petitioners spent
between 200 and 250 hours participating in the rental of their Maui
condo rather than the 325.5 hours proposed by petitioners. We
further find that petitioners spent less than 100 hours
participating in the rental of their Molokai condo, rather than the
275.5 hours proposed by petitioners. However, there still remains
the question of the amount of time spent by others working on the
rental of petitioners' condominiums.
We first consider the Maui condo. Ms. Alders testified that
the front desk spent approximately 5 to 10 minutes checking in a
tenant for petitioners' Maui condo. Mr. Pohoski estimated that the
maid service spent an average of 2 to 3 hours cleaning the Maui
condo after the departure of a tenant. Ms. Alders opined that
petitioners "spent far more time" in operating the Maui condo than
Rainbow Reservations. No testimony was presented with respect to
participation by other individuals at the Maui condo, nor was
testimony given with respect to the Molokai condo.
