So from a pure tax deduction standpoint, nothing changes by simply moving the title to an LLC.Here’s what does matter for tax purposes:Your ability to use losses: Even if the property is generating a paper loss (thanks to depreciation, repairs, etc.), you're often limited to $25,000 of passive losses per year—and that phases out completely if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $150,000.Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or the STR Loophole: To use rental losses to offset W-2 or other active income, you must either:Qualify as a Real Estate Professional (750+ hours, primarily in real estate) and materially participate in the property.Or, if it's a short-term rental (average stay under 7 days), materially participate (100+ hours and more than anyone else) to convert it from passive to non-passive—even without REPS.Standard deduction vs. itemizing: You mentioned your CPA said deductions didn’t help due to the standard deduction.

Short-term rentals can generate more income if you find the right property, but they require more work, as you’ll be handling cleaning, turnovers, guest management, etc.

Not all of them were good quality leads but we only need one qualified tenant.This morning I got ready to reply to the 5 leads we had overnight and the message failed to send, only to find that we have been "banned" from FB Marketplace with no reason given.

Someone comes in and uses lead roof materials, electrical conduits, a tank lining, soft solder, orparts from China all which have lead in remodeling after the certification...I know lead is dangerous for children.

I often hear that a property should positive cashflow and only then it's a good investment.I have finalized a property that generates 0.8% of purchase price in rentals every month.But will 6.25% interest rate and 5% down payment plus deducting expenses like property taxes, home insurance, mortgage insurance and variable taxes like vacancy (8%), maintenance (8%), property management (8%), I am only left with negative cashflow.Am I doing something wrong?
