Property turned into Short term rental

[Maged Habib]

Hey All - I have 2nd home in Florida going to convert it into an airbnb. Even though it's in my personal name and not under an LLC can I still get the benefits o write-offs etc as I start to make upgrades and by new furtinture ? I have a decent mortgage rate on it so don't want to make any change that would affect that but also trying to figure out If I can get all the benefits of running it as a business?

Thanks
