Summary

This video quickly explains how W-2 employees can leverage short-term rental (STR) ownership to reduce their tax burden. By meeting certain criteria (average guest stay 7 days or less, work 500 hours on the business), hosts can offset up to 30% of the purchase price against their W-2 income.

Key insights

  • You can offset around 30% of your purchase price against your W-2 income using the 'STR Tax Loophole'.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Don't assume you can write off the property's value the same way if it is a long-term rental. You would have to qualify as a real estate professional to get the same benefits which requires much more time.
