Second, I have a question about REPS status in a longer term sense.The primary benefit of REPS status, as I see it, is to take passive real estate losses, usually from depreciation and accelerated depreciation via cost-segregation, and use those losses to offset active income, reducing current or future AGI and tax burden.I’m clear about this benefit, but what I’m unclear on is the consequence in out years.For example, if I put $100K into a multifamily syndication, and the syndication does a cost seg, resulting in a $40K loss, I believe that a Real Estate Professional could claim that $40K loss against their other income and reduce their AGI accordingly.

Given that it is near the end of the year, it is almost impossible to get the STR permit and actually rent it before the end of the year, most likely, I am not able to get any tax benefits in 2024.
