Qualifying for Depreciation using STR
My short-term rental is out of state but I manage it remotely (mostly guest communications and troubleshooting issues) and if I include in that the time I spent getting it ready to rent, I would say I materially participated and even more than anyone else (i.e. cleaner). Can I claim the losses as active against W2 income? I am trying to figure out how far can my STR be to show I am material participation

Hey @Vikranth Biradar, I agree with @Bill Hampton.
Get yourself a CPA who knows real estate and is an investor themselves. It will make life much easier and worth the cash!
