Feedback on 2025 STR loophole execution

Prem S.
Posted

Hey everyone. Our household makes about $XXK per year. Obviously, we

are paying a lot of tax, but we have never seriously thought about

reducing the tax that we are paying. However, for the first time, I

started looking into it about a month ago and I found that there's a

thing called short-term tax strategies—not really a loophole, but that's

what people call it. This involves buying a property, let's say a

property of $1 million as an example, and using cost segregation along

with bonus depreciation to write off our W-2 income this year. I have a

few properties that I have been looking at, and most likely I'll

purchase one this week. If cost segregation is completed before the end

of the year and the property is listed on Airbnb and we meet the

material participation requirement, is it all realistic to do this year?

It's also hard to find a CPA who can answer these questions on an

hourly basis. Please provide a list of CPAs who are experts in

Short-Term Rentals (STRs) and could work on an hourly basis. Thanks.
