Backyard carriage house Airbnb
My hubby and I renovated our detached garage and we now have a backyard carriage house Airbnb! One successful Airbnb booking so far since the remodel was completed this summer. Hoping to learn more about how we can save on our taxes :)

@Alejandro Lerza we haven’t decided on cost seg study yet; but we are definitely pursuing STR loophole. However, truthfully we kind of stumbled into the STR loophole and the realization that we could save $$ on taxes just as the project was finishing up - so we didn’t necessarily plan for this from the beginning, but it was a nice surprise!

@Alejandro Lerza I am still learning about all of this and you’re right - we do plan to work with a CPA to make sure we file our taxes correctly. But as I understand it, it is not necessarily a requirement to get a cost seg study to take advantage of the STR loophole. Maybe @Ryan Bakke, CPA can weigh in on that part and if what I’ve screnshotted here is correct. As far as receipts, we do fortunately have a good record of those as we worked with a professional design+construction company who sent us detailed invoices every month while the project was ongoing

First Meeting Recap!
Thanks for joining yesterday's meeting. Here is a short summary if you missed it: - New home: We’re moving from Facebook → SKOOL (better tools, instant team replies, leveling system). Post your Starter Post (why, where you’re at, your one big domino). - Top takeaways: STR loophole: aim for 100 hrs/property & 2+ bookings by Dec 31 Funding: use conventional before DSCR; HELOCs/refis need strong cash flow LTR depreciation: only offsets W-2 with RE Pro or income <100k Roth: great when you “have too much depreciation”—convert before Dec 31 Vehicles: mileage, depreciation (§179), or lease—pick based on cost & use - Tools: STR Deal Calculator + Hours Tracker are live in SKOOL. Next step: Post your Starter Post and comment/like others—this is how you level up (and unlock surprise gifts).

My Starter Post!
- Why do you want to save money on taxes? Not just “to save money” — but what does that money mean for your life? - Where are you right now in your journey? Just starting out? Own rentals? Flipping or doing STRs? - What’s your #1 challenge right now — your “big domino”? The one thing that would make everything else easier?

My hubby and I have invested significantly into the remodel of our garage into a backyard carriage house Airbnb. We would like to keep more of our hard-earned money since we worked so hard to start our STR business while also working full-time W2 jobs
