If you’re a W-2 earner, you’ve probably heard you must qualify as a “Real Estate Professional” to use rental losses against your income. In this episode, Mike and Kevin break down why that’s not the rule for short-term rentals, and what actually matters instead.

We walk through:

  • The 7-day rule (how STRs are defined for tax purposes)

  • Why Real Estate Professional (REP) status doesn’t apply to most STR planning

  • The one lever that does matter: material participation

  • How STRs and long-term rentals are treated differently (and why you can’t “group” them)

  • The documentation/timesheet mindset that keeps this strategy defensible

  • A smart, real-world scenario: using an STR in year one for tax strategy, then transitioning to a long-term rental (without turning it into a taxable event)

If you’re considering an Airbnb/VRBO purchase specifically for tax strategy, or you’re trying to understand the difference between REP vs material participation, this one makes it crystal clear.
