House Hack / STR Cost Seg

[Anthony Battaglia]

Hey All,

I live in San Diego and I'm thinking about house hacking a duplex. I will be living in one and doing a STR in the other. Most likely the bigger and nicer unit.

My question is, if the home is bought on a conventional loan for personal use can I still Cost Seg a portion of the house and take the tax advantage against my W2 since the other side will be a STR.

I make around 250k single with no kids and looking into a million dollar plus units so I believe that the tax advantage would be great even if able to split 50/50 with personal and STR side.

Thanks for the help

 I actually did the same with a 4-unit in San Diego and just completed the Cost Seg study on it!  I have been really happy with the company I used and am happy to share more if you want to chat privately - SO many lessons learned, haha!
