Lease to rent on Airbnb

[Justin Pumpr]

Hi all,

 I am thinking of trying the lease-to-rent business model as advertised by Brian Page and I had a tax question. Can you deduce the amount you pay as rent as a business expense? So say I rent the property for $1,000 and then list it on Aribnb, can I deduce that $1,000 from my taxable income?

Thanks!
