What is the Short-Term Rental Loophole?
Dangers of the Short-Term Rental Loophole
What the One Big Beautiful Bill Means for Short Term Rental Investors
• Most investors make critical mistakes by not using data tools like AirDNA or misinterpreting the data
• Focus on full-time hosts with 270+ days of availability and multiple recent reviews for accurate revenue projections
• Use the "20% rule" to quickly assess market potential (revenue should be 20% of purchase price)
• Study successful properties in your target market to identify revenue drivers and build a "buy box"
• Cash flow should be prioritized over tax benefits to ensure long-term sustainability
• Avoid oversaturated "Class A" vacation markets where property values have increased beyond revenue potential
• Expect 8-20% cash-on-cash returns from well-selected properties
• Setting up an STR requires significant initial effort but becomes much easier with proper systems
• Choose markets with established regulations to avoid future compliance issues
