Looking for CPA around Bay Area

[Venkat P.]

Newbie here, purchased a LTR a few months back. Have a few questions regarding STR loophole and ways to save on taxes.

I have a W2 and I am on H1b visa. So looking for folks who are knowledgeable on visa side of things.

Thanks

@Venkat P. Generally, having an H1b visa restricts you from participating in a business that is outside of the scope of the visa. As a result, you might have a difficult time meeting the participation requirements to offset non-passive income (W-2, 1099, etc) with rental losses from your STR.
