Or anyone else who can recommend a good CPA with short term rental loopholes knowledge in California! 

Since Portland is such a tenant friendly city, I’m wondering if there is a loop hole or if I can choose the occupied unit to move into in an effort to rent the other at market value?

Tax Savings - the "Airbnb Loophole" 

I live in St Petersburg, FL and trying to understand the rules, regulations and loopholes with AirBnb properties. 

I'm wondering if since you are not technically calling someone when you use an RVM if people are loopholing there way into having a larger viable call list and just including DNC numbers. 

What do you think about my other strategy of doing seg study and bonus depreciation on all my rentals for the year 2023 (have not filed it yet) to do the following:1- To get a bigger loss carried forward to 2024 to offset the sale of 3 properties instead of 2 in 2024. 2- Or, Since I married a realtor this year 2024 (and we passed the IRS active participation test together), I can activate that loophole, use whatever loss (bigger lost if we can use the seg study) is left over from the sale of the property to offset my high  W-2 wages (way over the $150K threshold) in 2024. 

For the STR tax loophole I would speak with your accountant on the specifics.

I understand the rules for a cash out refinance and regular refinance are different but would you just consider this a "loop hole" to get your 75% LTV and not worry about seasoning?

Imagine person A has a blog about fishing, and person B has a blog about Boyscouts.Person A wants to write an article explaining their users how to tie the perfect knot  to attach the hook to the line, which let's say is the "3 loop hole rabbit" know (made that up).So do you think it is smart for person A to reinvent the wheel and write a completely new article on how to tie that knot, when Person B, the expert boyscout  having already written an award winning blog entry on exactly how to tie that knot with videos diagrams pictures and everything?
