Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

Is anyone actively doing midterm rentals in this general area and willing to help some new comers out?

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Is buying a rental into a living trust a good idea?

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $15,000 I obtained the home 9 years and am holding it for cashflow as a single family long term rental.

So I do currently have income from my rental properties, however it isnt enough to cover our current costs over here for the next 6 months.

From what you wrote it sounds like the rental you own is your sole, pre-marital property.

In Pittsburgh it’s the only way to buy rentals haha!

At the time of purchase, I knew I might not want to stay indefinitely and at some point to might convert the home to a rental property.

Can not go wrong with a rental in Ashburn since the rents have increased so much.
