We purchased a property in early October and are placing it in service this week (mid November).We had intended to run a cost segregation study and try to accelerate depreciation which we can deduct against our W2 (assuming material participation).However, we have been reading through the IRS guidelines (eg publication 946 on Property Depreciation) and there seems to be the concept of "short year" which would mean that we can only deduct ~1.5/12 of a year's worth of depreciation in 2024.Is this correct or are there any different rules for STRs specifically?

I believe this situation was handled in a way congruent with BiggerPockets values and ethos - information was discovered, we gave the user in question an opportunity to respond publicly to the allegations, other members of the community chimed in to make comments and ask questions of their own, I made the decision to close the post because I believe many of the top viewpoints were discussed and I didn't want it to turn into shameless trolling with no additional value, that whole thread remains up for community members to view into the future for transparency and anyone who reads it can form their own opinions with the information presented.
