Here is my situation:- I'm a W2 employee that earns north of $500k a year- My wife is a stay-at-home-spouse- I'm looking to buy ~ $1,000,000 in STR Real Estate by the end of the year (as an investment and to offset my tax bill)I'm fairly well versed in the rules surrounding using STR to offset active income.

In regards to the sale of their homes, it depends on who owns the homes, how many years it has been their primary residence etc. as it may be eligible for exclusion from capital gains.You also have to take into consideration for yourself, depreciation recapture as well as potential capital gains on your rental property.
