I'm new to Bigger Pockets and have been immersing myself in the podcast and studying various aspects of real estate investing—from market analysis to financing—for the past two months.

If I buy a vacation home using a 2nd home loan and rent it as an AirBNB when I am not using it, can I still do a cost segregation study to accelerate depreciation and offset losses against my W2 income if I follow the rules of STR tax loophole (I.e., the average stay in the house is less than 7 days, I manage the AirBnB myself, and spend 100 hours or more a year and more time than any other person/entity on managing my AirBnB business)?
