I’m considering short-term rentals in the Pocono area of Pennsylvania as a tax-saving strategy, but I’m not sure where to start or how realistic this idea might be.There’s still so much I don’t know about investing, and I’d love some guidance.

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.

The inspections alone cost me $1,300, but that upfront investment saved me tens of thousands of dollars and spared me countless headaches.In short, buying older homes requires more diligence and negotiation, but when done right, it can be incredibly rewarding.
