Based on BiggerPockets podcasts, the current loophole is to get your 100 hours in short-term rentals and then turn it into a long-term rental the following year after you have cashed in on the 60% bonus depreciation and used it against my wife’s income.

I remember listening to a podcast episode of someone who would rent their LTRs to a non-profit at market value so they could use the housing for people in need.

I have listened to many podcasts, networked quite a bit, and read a ton of articles - but at this point I am just overwhelmed/lost with what is the best route to go down today with the way the market is to cash flow because there are so many creative ideas out there.

You can, and should, read books, listen to podcasts and interview operators - and all of that knowledge will be fortified and verified only if you find others whose experience you can share and use. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I just listened to Michael Baum on the podcast and decided to actually look at the forums...This has been an interesting conversation to read through.

I've listened to a few of Scott Smith's podcast and like what I have to hear. 

Was listening to a Tax Podcast talking about potentially doing this via residential housing.

We listen to the podcast and have started reading the books but the analysis paralysis is real especially having the money to actually do something and never having this much in our bank before at once!
