On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Brandon Hall and Nathan Sosa of Hall CPA to dive deep into the short-term rental tax loophole and how investors can legitimately use it to offset W2 and business income. They discuss the origins of the loophole, how to qualify through material participation tests, and what documentation is necessary to survive an IRS audit. The conversation also covers depreciation recapture, bonus depreciation updates, and common traps tax influencers don’t warn you about. Whether you’re an investor with one STR or 100, this is a must-listen for anyone trying to minimize taxes the right way.
