What I am unsure about is if REP status in 2024 will allow you to take that 2023 loss that was carried forward. 

He was not allowed to sell anything, and I received nothing for having him speak. 

The problem I keep running into is finding a lender who will allow a rural STR.

@Michael LipariIf I allowed taxes to drive my business decisions, I would have seconded the idea proposed by @Alex Olson and @Corby Goade.

I think you equally partially answered that question, telling the difficulties you are facing with STR regulations.this is my prescription and what I have decided to do .consider HELOC your current property, use the money to 1- add some value to your current home if room provide ( not to exceed X $ amount) you can then rent out the extra created meat to help pay HELOC2- Use the balance of HELOC to purchase another home in an appreciating market and if possible one that allows STR. use cash flow from new property still towards HELOC and just allow second home appreciate OR if you can fine a fixer upper to do BRRRR tat will even be better.that is what I have resolved to to. you can get back to me at 301-256-1578 so we can continue to brainstorm.little cent
