My goal is to generate income since I am closing my business which is my 9-5.

We take that to mean activities that are integral to the operation of the business.

The Fed, by it's very design, is a RE-active apparatus.

Thanks for the responses everyone, the confusing part to me was if I use the deductions against active income year 1 since STR's are an active business, but then switch to LTR's year 2 which correct me if I'm wrong can't count against active income- if this in some way has a disadvantage with recapture, etc. since the STR business would no longer exist
