@Alex Clark when deciding on a state other than your own I would look at the trends to see where people and companies are moving to. you can look into the stats of one way U-Haul rentals.

Alternatives include exploring seller financing or joint venture partnerships to potentially reduce your upfront cash requirements.

U may want to look at my references and see all the people I help on this site never charging a dime or asking for anything in return.. we all are entitled to our opinions.

If I am the only one materially participating in STR, can we deduct STR depreciation from my spouse's income if we file taxes jointly?

Currently, they file taxes separately, but they plan to file jointly after establishing the Holding Company.

We have it in Joint Tenancy and do everything 50/50.

Are you filing married/jointly and is that the best election - sometimes if you're rich spouse/richer spouse you can file separately and allocate income and itemized deductions with the other taking standard deduction to save overall. 

Although the U tube revenue is new to agents in the last decade.

Good Morning BP World! I am reaching out to see if anyone has a good, but basic, JV agreement they would be willing to share in a word document? All your help is much appreicated! ThanksAndrew 

You were a 5% owner if you owned (or are considered to have owned) more than 5% of your employer's outstanding stock, outstanding voting stock, or capital or profits interest.If you file a joint return, don’t count your spouse's personal services to determine whether you met the preceding requirements.
