Airbnb Rental Income - Schedule E

[Kyle Moore]

Greetings all -

I will be purchasing another Airbnb property next year and I am trying to secure the financing. One thing I do know for sure is that my ability to qualify for another mortgage is completely dependent on my Schedule E. For those who operate short-term rentals, how aggressive are you on expensing your supplies, cleaning costs, materials, etc.? I am afraid that including too many write-offs on my tax return will have a negative impact on my Schedule E and my DTI will not allow me to afford another mortgage. Thanks.
