The STR Tax Loophole: How Evolve Owners Are Benefitting | Evolve

The Evolve Team

To reap the benefits of the STR tax loophole, you can leverage 100% bonus depreciation and maximize its impact with a cost segregation study. Work with a CPA and a firm that specializes in cost segregation studies to make sure you’re taking the appropriate steps to qualify. 

How can I use the STR tax loophole?

100% bonus depreciation lets STR owners deduct the entire cost of qualifying assets from ordinary income (primary income from W-2 wages or business income) in the first year their property is listed for rent. 

What does 100% bonus depreciation mean for STR owners?

You or your spouse spend 100+ hours per year — and more time than anyone else — actively involved in your property operations. Time spent coordinating repairs with contractors, managing turnovers, or checking in with guests can all count. This helps qualify you for 100% bonus depreciation, and may also open up additional opportunities for deducting losses. <br/><br/>As an Evolve referral, take advantage of Anderson Advisors’ free asset protection strategy session to talk through your situation and create an asset protection blueprint. And if you’re an Evolve owner on our Plus or Pro management plans, you’ll receive up to $500 off select tax advice packages.

What does “material participation” mean for STR owners?

A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of your total property cost so those components are deductible on shorter timelines — and depreciate faster than the building itself. It’s conducted by professionals — generally a firm that specializes specifically in these kinds of studies. <br/><br/>Get your complimentary benefit analysis from CSA Partners to see how much hidden cash flow you can unlock, and take $150 off a cost segregation study if you’re a Plus or Pro owner with Evolve.<br/>

What is a cost segregation study?

Evolve helps you earn more on your second home, and stress less.
