Passive Losses for STR's

[Kyler J Sloan]

Is there any way that STR rental income can be considered "active" from a tax standpoint?

I spent a lot of my time working on renovations myself, and manage it myself, but I have not manually tracked the time invested. 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I like to make money with my STRs, I don't want to lose money.

 Theres losing money in real life and losing money on paper, real RE investors like to lose money on paper and make money in real life.
