I have to say that I thought ron's material was the best I experienced.

Since I will now be the host on Airbnb, does this count as materially participating and can I finally take the STR loophole? 

Roma in Mexico City is an awesome area for lifestyle but there's but STRs are going to be regulated there and possibly banned and LTRs are not a profitable alternative.

I suppose if your numbers aren't working, you certainly have to look for alternatives.

Assuming this is a passive business - meaning you are not materially participating - any cost segregation fueled losses would have no impact on your W-2 income. 

What I mean by that is you need to have alternate properties you own support other properties you own. 

(actually exterior first, also lawn, landscaping) You can pay for the materials using money from your HELOC.

I recently listed some land and I'm looking for advice on alternative marketing strategies.

Can anyone advise on if this is true, and, if so why and what alternatives can be put in place to still allow us to do the work personally?

I am open to an alternative solution but they seem like they using intimidation tactic via email like call my strategy theft (something I take offense to) and that they will not pay and I should figure out the impossible.
