.- Stocking Essentials: We make sure that all necessary items, like toiletries and linens, are available for guests.7.

I don't understand why my taxes go up a few bucks when I change move an item (a kitchen appliance) from bonus depreciation to an expense on schedule E.

Another item to factor is cost.

One option is to have the buyer use a loan to buy out your existing mortgage, and then you can carry a second lien on the property for the remaining balance.

I only recommend this route if furnishing the STR is not the long item.  

@John CarrI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

@Brody VeilleuxHouse hacking and BRRRR (Build, Refinance, Resell, Reinvest) strategies are effective for property acquisition, but they carry risks like delayed refinancing, increased debt, and property management complexity.

BUT, it would be subject to the existing $160,000 mortgage balance carrying a 2.75% interest rate.

. 😢😢 I would say try not to squander your money on depreciating items though.

It depends on the item.
