If you didn't, seems like a bad / inexperienced accountant to suggest such a thing.In my opinion, its the same as telling someone to go to a trade school and get a new career.A STR can help you lower your taxes but I would only do it if you were planning to purchase a STR.A STR is a business, you are responsible for furnishing the house, responding to guests, providing a great stay and experience, etc

My simple math suggests that you probably have to shell out $600k in cash (25% down + furnishing, travel, and make ready costs) for the privilege of losing $1,000-$5,000 per month.
