Equity skimming shall be classified as a level II offense under chapter 9.94A RCW, and each act of equity skimming found beyond a reasonable doubt or admitted by the defendant upon a plea of guilty to be included in the pattern of equity skimming, shall be a separate current offense for the purpose of determining the sentence range for each current offense pursuant to RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a)."

The only current exceptions to the Transient Habitation activity restrictions is if the facility is classified as either a “Bed and Breakfast” or a “Semi-Transient Residential Activity.”

Learnlikeacpa.com  From what I've read and from working with many CPA's, these are the rules to use the STR or short term rental loophole- average STR - short term rental stay of 7 days or less to classify your airbnb income as an active business versus "rental activity," this allows losses to be pass through with out limits like with "rental activity," income- must meet material participation (MP) rules and there are 7 ways or tests to meet MP but the most common one I see used is the 100+ hour activity rule on the STR property operation than any other human being or the 500+ total hours per year in aggregate/total ( there are more options to meet MP but these are the ones I see used most often).

My minimum stay has always been set to 31 days, but apparently my listing had been classified as an STR, which I think was why VRBO thought it needed to have a registration # from my city.
