Post: STR tax Loophole vs MTR?

@Amy Houghton the short answer, as you've seen here, is generally not. You would have to meet REPS (real estate professional status) to turn your MTR to non-passive to offset other non-passive income.
If the average stay per guest is 7 days or less, then we're talking about the STR tax strategy, and therefore REPS requirements would not be necessary.

The STR tax strategy is most beneficial for high-income earners (think: $300K+ annual household income).
You have to have the property placed in service before the end of the tax year, but more importantly, you have to have at least 2 stays before the end of the year to have an average stay of less than 7 days.

If you're staying there between guests, those are generally going to be personal use days, and going to cause an issue with the deductions and ultimately the losses you can take.

Absolutely! The STR tax strategy has 2 main components:
1) The average stay per guest is 7 days or less for the tax year.
AND
2) You materially participate in your STR. The most common test used is the 100 hours and more than anyone else test.
For example, if you acquired a $500,000 STR after January 19th, 2025, you could accelerate $100,000 of losses with the help of a cost segregation study. If you're in the 35% tax bracket, that could equate to $35,000 in federal tax savings!
