239. Short-Term Rental Hours Don't Count Toward The Real Estate Professional Status... Or Do They?

In this episode, Brandon & Thomas make the case that short-term rentals do indeed count toward the real estate professional status, despite tax court cases indicating otherwise. They explore: - Why it's believed that STRs don't count toward REPS. - The regulations indicate that they do count toward REPS. - While there is a strong case, it doesn't mean it's a sure thing. If you've been following along regarding the STR Loophole or REPS, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
