Short term rental loophole then long term rental in the future

Typically, it's applicable to certain types of property, and the rules can change.Regarding short-term rentals and bonus depreciation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) introduced favorable changes for businesses, including bonus depreciation for certain qualified property, but the specifics can depend on your situation.Using your property for short-term rentals may affect your ability to qualify for certain tax benefits, and the classification of your property (personal residence, rental property, business property, etc.) can impact the tax treatment.The IRS has guidelines regarding the depreciation of rental property, and bonus depreciation may not always be applicable to residential rental property.Additionally, if you decide to switch the use of your property (from short-term rental to long-term or mid-term rental), there could be implications for tax treatment.Given the complexity of tax laws and the potential impact on your specific situation, it is strongly recommended that you seek advice from a qualified tax professional.

This is most likely exactly what is going on - the 10 cap is rarely ever hit because the metrics, hassle and complications of qualifying often becomes too much (which also ticks up towards worse overall terms which can include fees) - the math makes a lot of people to move towards Non-QM/DSCR right about this exact point (I generally always point to "property number 5" which looks like you situation to a tee)

To people that are used to living in houses built in the 70's and later, not having a bathroom on the top floor may be a deal breaker, but if this is a popular part of town, particularly if it tends to feature older houses (1920-50's), then the people looking in that area will likely not mind as much.Now, if every property around you has multiple bathrooms on each floor, and yours is the outlier, then that could be an issue, and you will need to price rents accordingly, but overall, you can't please everyone, including your friends.
