Hello all,Has anyone sold a short term rental owned over a year  as a non real estate professional that qualified as short term capital gains tax deductions with expenses and depreciation?

As an invetsment-friendly agent (based out of Houston, TX), I’ve seen how the right professional will help you analyze cash flow, manage comforatble contractor bids, and even drive for dollars if you want a broader look at potential comps or deals in the neighborhood.

In my market, almost all sellers are still offering buyer compensation so you could hire an agent hourly, pay them, and then the seller will also pay them comp on your behalf so it doesn't really make any sense to do and no good agents will do this in my opinion.

Focus on areas with sustainable taxes and long-term rental demand, targeting groups like college students, young professionals, or travel nurses.

And it has been gaining recognition as a vibrant, desirable place to live, especially for younger professionals and first-time buyers. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
