I’m curious to hear from other hosts, what’s the most you’ve spent to add a specific theme or experience to your short-term rental?

Running an Airbnb or short-term rental can be an incredible cash flow machine — but it can also turn into a tax nightmare if you don’t know the rules.Here’s the good news: the IRS treats short-term rentals differently from traditional long-term rentals — and if you structure things right, you can unlock powerful deductions, reduce taxable income, and keep way more of your profit.So, let’s talk about the Airbnb tax secrets every host should know in 2025.1.

I've helped several BP members acquire properties for the purpose of renting out on a short-term basis in the Joshua Tree area.First thing to know is info on the current regulation landscape.

Hiring a full time Property Manager will likely make it difficult to execute the Short Term Rental Loophole, but many Property Managers offer consulting to allow you to fast track your learning curve on providing exceptional service.

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

@Steve VassalloIt’s the long game.

The market is definitely shifting, but it’s doing so gradually.Buyers are still out there — as long as the numbers make sense, there will always be buyers.That said, a lot of wholesalers have exited the game since the hedge funds stopped buying almost a year ago.

From there it goes quickly, you have a winner and the game ends.

Our thoughts was to find someone that would want to rent the condo for 4-6 months in winter months and then Short Term during Spring/Summer months.

I have tried very expensive courses but they talk a big game and just leave you in credit card debt.
