Learn how depreciation recapture impacts your taxes when selling a short-term rental property after taking upfront tax benefits. Understand strategies like 1031 exchanges and long-term holding to maximize your investment.

Key insights

  • Holding a short-term rental property long-term allows for continued cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits, and can even be passed down to heirs.

Mistakes to avoid
