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

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
