If I buy a vacation home using a 2nd home loan and rent it as an AirBNB when I am not using it, can I still do a cost segregation study to accelerate depreciation and offset losses against my W2 income if I follow the rules of STR tax loophole (I.e., the average stay in the house is less than 7 days, I manage the AirBnB myself, and spend 100 hours or more a year and more time than any other person/entity on managing my AirBnB business)?

My audit was settled by NYS first, before the feds, which is odd because the state usually follows whatever the feds do.

What follow-up was done?

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.

Consider commercial or portfolio financing from one of the following lenders:Portfolio lendersRegional banksCommunity banksCredit unionsNon-bank lendersCommercial lendersPrivate or hard money lenders

We will have tenants for 3-6 weeks following closing so theoretically we could insure on a traditional policy in the beginning, as it would be much cheaper.

The way that I think about these things is as follows: what things will hurt the value of the property and/or annoy the neighbors and/or get me fined if I assign to the tenants and they don't do it.1.

Tough part with VA loans is they are still similar to FHA loans and can be a more strict appraisal process.
