For example, an employee of mine bought a cabin to live in in 2014 for $42K.

It's just that the IRS is hiring 87,000 new employees and they are loooking for things to do.

They have over 100 employees. 

It sounds like you are looking for an employee as defined by most taxing bodies.

Plus, if you can't attend a live session, recordings are circulated afterward for your convenience.By exploring SponsorNetwork's features, you will be able to transition from being an outsider to an insider in the off-market syndication deals.I'll check it out, but I'm guessing you're sponsored by SponsorNetwork or an employee ;) 

@Michael Wagner Do you just have the one employee at your self-storage facility, and then you pick up the slack for when they go on vacation or aren't available?  

You will need at least 5 employees.

Has anyone filed taxes yet as a W-2 employee who owns only STR, rents for on average less than 7 days per rental (STR), and materially participates (usually requires 100 hours or more in a year and more than anyone else)I’ve heard there are amazing tax benefits if you fall under all of the categories.
