George Agyapong New to REI - how can multifamily affect W2 tax burden?

Without REPS, those losses are usually trapped as passive.You invest in a Short-Term Rental (STR) and materially participate, making it non-passive even without REPS.Multifamily (2–4 units): Great for long-term cash flow and equity but offers limited W-2 tax relief unless REPS applies.Short-Term Rentals: Strongest W-2 offset opportunity if managed actively, though more operationally intensive.Commercial Real Estate: Larger depreciation and cost segregation benefits but still generally passive without REPS.Cost Segregation Studies: Can create large paper losses upfront, but those benefits are often suspended unless REPS or STR status unlocks them.A small multifamily is a great wealth-building vehicle and may help you shelter some rental income from taxes, but it won’t do much to reduce your W-2 burden unless you or your spouse can meet REPS requirements.
