I have a BP member here been with me from July, he is in his third project - his first hold - a triplex.My group generates short term cash with the SFH and then will hold the 2 - 4 unit stuff. 

The short answer is they don't They are struggling with CFA, maccas, in n out, etc.Plus tons of healthy salad options and cheap Salad To Go.

Our plan is to subdivide and sell off lots to pay off the loan and keep the rest for to develop as short term rentals or an event venue.

If i were to airbnb it out for the last few weeks of December, would i be able to use the short term rental loophole to do bonus depreciation on the property (with a cost seg of course)?

I am pondering the idea of starting a short term rental management company.

The only really decent investments on the Coast for your average run-of-the mill investor or person wanting to protect their money in real estate is in short term rentals.

I know people are comfortable with losing money in the short term until rents and appreciation catch up, but as this is my first property, I don't necessarily want to buy something that produces neg cash flow.

Hopefully someone can use my method on how I doubled my portfolio in a short period of time.

Note: I was looking into the Short-Term Rental Loophole (e.g., rent it out for on average less than 7 days per a stay) and could definitely demonstrate material participation (e.g., designing/developing ADU, furnishing it etc.)

In the realm of real estate investments, the short-term rental loophole offers a unique opportunity, subject, however, to certain rules and regulations.
