@Eric Lowder since you didn't place the "property in service" (e.g. make it ready and available to rent) until Jan 2024 you'll report the income and expenses on Schedule E in the 2024 tax year.In rare cases, that short-term rental income will be reported on Schedule C, but this is only if the rental offers "substantial service" that includes things like concierge services or a butler. ...

One thing my property mgmt. company recently implemented was something we market as a concierge service. 

The key factor is ensuring the property qualifies for favorable tax treatment by adhering to IRS rules regarding short-term rentals and material participation.For the 7-day rule, the IRS requires that:The average guest stay must be seven days or less for the property to qualify as a short-term rental.If the average stay is 30 days or less, you must provide substantial services similar to what hotels offer, such as daily cleaning or concierge services.Regarding material participation, to further classify the income as non-passive, you must meet one of the following criteria:You spend more than 500 hours actively managing the rental in a year.You manage the business yourself and spend at least 100 hours, with your involvement exceeding that of any other person involved in the rental.Please note there are actually 7 ways to qualify, the above two are the most common.

(For context, we are in the luxury market and the guests are very demanding - they want lots of communication, concierge etc.. and maintenance, lawn care, gardening etc is time consuming.. so there’s a big job beyond just brokering and managing managing funds)

Smart sellers will eventually offer better comp because they know they will get more showings since buyers can note on the buyer agency agreement that they don't want to see homes that don't offer compensation for their agent.Take the ruling as a time to adjust your business model to less spray and pray (work with anyone) and more tailored clientele with a concierge feel.
