Why Choose A Short-Term vs Long-Term Rental Investment
Short-term vs long-term rental income tax structures are different, and it all comes down to how your earnings are classified. The short-term rental tax loophole opens up a new world of deductions by classfying income as active.
Long-Term Rentals
Losses generally can’t offset W-2 income unless you qualify as a real estate professional.
Depreciation is taken over 27.5 years, spreading deductions evenly with no bonus acceleration.
Deduct standard operating expenses but not personal time, travel, or property setup costs.
Produces stable income but smaller first-year deductions and slower capital recovery
Short-Term rentals
Use bonus depreciation to deduct 100% of eligible assets in the year they’re placed in service.
Qualify as an active business through material participation, allowing losses to offset W-2 or other earned income.
Use cost segregation to accelerate depreciation on improvements and furnishings.
Reduce taxable income early and free up capital to reinvest faster.
