Owning a short-term rental can be a great source of income—but it also comes with tax risks that many investors overlook.
In this episode, we break down three common tax mistakes that can trigger an IRS audit, including:
• Failing to separate land value from building value when calculating depreciation
• Misclassifying renovations and repairs
• Exceeding personal use limits and losing business tax status
These mistakes are more common than most property owners realize—and they can lead to disallowed deductions, penalties, or worse.
You’ll learn how to stay compliant, protect your tax benefits, and build a more defensible short-term rental strategy.
