I have not heard of an extension as of yet.Your 100 hours is related to material participation for STR not the real estate professional status, they are two separate items but in a way can be connected (kinda).I'm not sure what you mean by "sell it for no bonus depreciation recapture" because you are required to take depreciation, if you don't the IRS should calculate your tax as if you did.Your head is in the right place and I wish you luck but would highly recommend consulting with a tax professional before proceeding if this is your plan.Best of luck Dennis!
