I have included a slide on cost segregation analysis and how our interior design work can help to support with the owner's material participation hours and furnishing, upgrades to the property, including landscaping can all factor into that analysis. 

The goal is to compile a comprehensive list of candidates who meet the initial criteria for further evaluation.Analysis of Public InformationReview publicly available information, including the sponsor’s website, marketing materials, and any available financial reports.

Basic services like garbage collection don’t qualify.Material participation: Owners must pass one of the seven material participation tests, such as:You spend more than 500 hours working in your short-term rental business.You carry out all the necessary tasks to run the business yourself.You work more than 100 hours in the business, and no one else contributes more time than you do (this is often considered the best and easiest test to meet).

You will want to attend those as they will provide additional materials you will need. 

Finally, make sure that your short-term rental (STR) meets IRS requirements and doesn't get classified as long-term or this could prevent you from leveraging this tax strategy event though you are materially participating in property and it was placed in service.

If not we replace and charge the customer for time and materials.  

I would not go to Mexico for free with all that crime and gangs.I found I can be interviewed on 10 different podcasts shows from the comfort of my house and they do all the editing and promoting the episode to their followers.

You gambled your investment capital on an internet investment-promoter.

Material prices have gone up so some may charge 4-5k as well.

And I put all quality materials and high end finishes throughout.
