Stop Overpaying Taxes: STR Strategies Every Host Must Know – with Ryan Bakke

Taxes can make or break your short-term rental business, and most hosts are leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

In this episode, licensed CPA, Ryan Bakke, explains how Airbnb and vacation rental investors can use smart tax planning to keep more of what they earn. From bonus depreciation and cost segregation to entity structuring and the STR loophole, Ryan breaks down strategies in a way every host can understand:

• How the 2025 return of 100% bonus depreciation could unlock huge upfront tax savings

• The short-term rental loophole that allows you to offset W-2 income with STR losses

• Why most hosts should use LLCs (not S corps) to protect assets and avoid tax traps

• The truth about partnership deals and guaranteed loans—and who really gets the tax benefits

• What new tax law changes mean for STR hosts, from personal deductions to business planning
