I’m exploring the idea of buying a vacation home near Yosemite, which I also plan to list on Airbnb.

This means that when you sell the property, your adjusted tax basis is lower, which increases the capital gain you must recognize.Additionally, any accelerated depreciation taken is subject to depreciation recapture at a higher tax rate (up to 25% for real estate assets) rather than being taxed as long-term capital gains.So, while cost segregation provides significant upfront tax savings, it also increases your capital gains tax liability upon sale unless you use a 1031 exchange or other tax-deferral strategies.You can find your current tax basis by reviewing your depreciation schedule (Form 4562) and prior years’ tax returns, specifically looking at your adjusted basis on Form 4797 (for sales of business property) or Schedule D (for capital gains and losses).Your CPA should be consulted prior to making any decisions. 

Thanks Ryan, now that I’m out of my busy season for work I would def love to attend.

Get an estimate from a GC to get a good idea of what is required.Market Comparables: Check what similar-sized homes with finished basements or additional bedrooms are appraising for in your area.

Vacancy is a normal part of the business.

. - If you can't afford to stage, virtual staging some photos is a good idea. - On this one it's hard for buyers to see what they're going to do with all of that living room space so some virtual staging helps paint the picture. - Lastly, the colors are basic and I think we're seeing a shift where buyers aren't just wanting the black/white kitchens anymore, maybe try to find some accent pieces you can add in for cheap.

I've been up there once so I don't know the area very well but have a general idea.

Although most of my stays are <7 days, I've had a few longer stays (business travelers and a family that was going through a full home remodel).
