I'm looking to reduce my workload and built a portfolio that is generational.

I recently began listing three rooms as short-term rentals on Airbnb, and that’s been going well so far, though I expect demand to slow down as we move into the winter months.I have an on-site property cleaner who receives reduced rent in exchange for their work.

You may be able to deduct a portion of your mortgage interest, property taxes, and even depreciation for the rented portion, which can help offset your rental income and reduce your overall tax bill.If house hacking isn’t an option, starting with a single-family home is usually the easiest way to get your feet wet.

In contrast, selling an actively managed business usually results in a mix of ordinary income and long-term capital gains, which can materially reduce after tax returns.

When the property is sold, the depreciation recapture rules will apply, reducing your tax basis and potentially increasing your taxable gain.This sounds like it is straight out of chat gpt and does not answer my question. 🤣  Completely agree

We’re trying to reduce USPS trips and are testing a few online mailing options. 

Motivation....they have to have a driving force like:New job in new location, must move before job starts.Life event....marriage, kids, divorce, retirement....must get more bedrooms or reduce expenses.Investor with cash they want to invest...especially 1031 clients.Everyone who is comfy in their house and just "thinking" of moving, is NOT moving. 

W-2 income is harder to reduce because there aren’t many deductions available.

Could be anything —• A screening question you added• A maintenance workflow that saved you headaches• A tool/software feature you discovered• Something you implemented with tenants that reduced calls• Or even just something simple that improved your sanity 😅I’ll start: For me, adding a required “hold fee” for out-of-state applicants dramatically cut down on last-minute drop-offs.

and it has some great features, but the staff canceled my training session at the last minute which significantly reduces its value (and increases my cost as I have fewer days to use its advanced features this month, post-training).
