Hey Gang, we purchased our first STR in late 2024 in southwest Michigan. I knew nothing about bonus depreciation at the time, otherwise I probably would've tried to push the deal into 2025. 😅 We've been enjoying the process so far, and just recently made the move to our own direct listing site to help further optimize revenue. This site is new to us, so I'd appreciate any candid feedback. I'm also happy to share any tips for anyone else who's looking to build out their own direct booking site/platform. This one costs $10 per year to host and the time I've spent building it will count towards my material participation threshold, although the reality of self-managing is that 100 is not a high bar to hit. www.mishorething.com

Hi guys 😊 I am Ivette from Houston Texas. My husband and I are real estate investors, mostly buy & hold, some flips and I am also a broker. As of this year we have decided to grow our portfolio more intentionally by focusing on new construction developments and building duplexes from the ground up. We have some rentals already and currently have 2 ground-up projects in the works. We would like to use the tax code available to us to reduce our taxes and re-invest the funds. We are first-gen americans and first-gen real estate investors so we started from zero and the goal is to grow our portfolio and gain our time freedom/flexibility to raise our children. We have 2 boys, 3 & 5 years old and we love to travel and learn about different cultures. I am excited to connect with this new group and get our tax strategies dialed in 😊.
