🚨 A brand new bill was signed into law on July 4th, 2025.

One big change? The return of 100% bonus depreciation.

Now… bonus depreciation isn’t new.

But this law revitalized it — and made it fully available again.

Here’s why that matters: 👇

🏠 By default, rental real estate is passive.

Since 1986, the rules say:

❌ Passive losses can only offset passive income.

❌ You can’t use them against W-2 income or business income.

… Unless you qualify for an exception.

✅ Short-term rentals are that exception.

But the rules are strict.

Here’s what it takes:

1️⃣ The property must be short-term in nature.

➡️ Average tenant stay = 7 days or less.

2️⃣ You must meet management tests.

🕒 Time: At least 100+ hours actively engaged.

🚫 Exclusivity: No one else (like a property manager) can work more hours than you.

It’s not magic.

It’s math.

👉 Qualify — and you can use paper losses from your STR to offset income that usually has no tax shelter.

That’s a powerful strategy.

💭 Question for you: are you planning to leverage this in 2025?
