2023 STR Cost Seg -> 2024 MTR/LTR conversion implications?
I am considering a strategy where I buy a STR in 2023 (do cost seg + bonus depreciation on it), then convert it into an MTR/LTR next year. My CPA said that this has never been done before, nor does he recommend doing it. Curious if anyone has actually tried it.

It has been done before many times.
Tax professionals' opinions on whether or not it is a legitimate strategy will vary, because it is grey area. In other words, I'm not aware of a definitive prohibition against it, but am aware of various theories on why it could be considered abusive y the IRS.
I'm curious about your theories on this. Would you mind elaborating? I haven't given this much thought, but with more people struggling with their STRs in certain markets and trying to pivot to MTR I could see this being a valuable topic
