Tax benefit of STR/Tiny home - Will it work ?

This can provide a better depreciation benefit than traditional STR real estate.If permanently affixed to land, it qualifies for real estate depreciation (27.5 years for residential properties).Considerations:Zoning laws and campground restrictions may impact legality.Self-employment tax risk arises if you provide substantial guest services.Vacation home rules apply if personal use exceeds 14 days or 10% of rental days, limiting deductions.Audit risk is high, so keep detailed records of participation, expenses, and rental operations.Given the potential tax benefits and complexities, consulting a real estate tax professional is advised to ensure compliance and maximize deductions.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
