This video breaks down the '100-hour rule' required to qualify for the short-term rental (STR) tax loophole. It details exactly which tasks—from initial realtor calls to physical property setup and guest messaging—count toward material participation and how to log them correctly.

Key insights

  • The STR tax loophole requires 100 hours of material participation and that you spend more time on the property than any other single individual (e.g., your cleaner).

Mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to realize that if a cleaner or property manager works more hours on the property than you do, you may fail the material participation test even if you hit 100 hours.

Tools & resources

  • STR Tax 100-Hour Tracking Sheettool

    A specialized tracking document shown in the video to log activity categories, specific tasks, hours spent, and who performed the work.
