Most short-term rental hosts think about taxes once a year. Ted Lanzaro says that's the mistake.
In this episode, Katie Johnson sits down with Ted Lanzaro, CPA and founder of Landmark CPA Group, a national tax strategy practice built specifically for real estate investors. Ted has spent 36 tax seasons helping STR hosts turn their properties into a real tax strategy instead of a once-a-year scramble.
They cover the short-term rental loophole: how staying under a seven-day average and materially participating in your property lets you take depreciation losses against ordinary income, something long-term rental owners generally can't do.
They also get into cost segregation, why buying one property a year with the right systems in place compounds into real wealth, and how your LLC structure, single-member versus two-member partnership, can change your audit exposure.
