Hey everyone! I'm one of the people behind a new tool called Starstruck. We started building it because we were tired of spending so much time putting together guest information, updating guides, and trying to make sure guests had what they needed throughout their stay. We wanted something that could do most of that heavy lifting for hosts, while giving guests a genuinely better experience. Just paste your property link and your demo is live in under a minute. It's been a fun project to bring to life, and we're starting to get it out into the world. I would love some feedback! If anyone's curious, here's a look: https://www.trystarstruck.com

Are there any other tax strategies we can consider: 1031 exchange done in 2025 and reported on form 8824. STR PIS in 2026. After deducting the 1031 exchange funds and land value from the purchase price, I'm being told by a cost seg company at a consultation that we will only have about $95,000 +/- to work with for bonus depreciation which he estimated that at our tax bracket would only end up being $7K - 8K, but the Cost Seg would be $3K. So after that cost we would only be looking at around $3K - $4K which may not be worth the effort. Looks like we just have to do regular 37 yr depreciation unless there is another angle we can take advantage of. Any ideas?

Our cleaner would like to do an exchange and stay at our AirBnb for a couple nights in exchange for cleaning. How should I handle this and what are the tax implications?

Does a PAD and Cost Seg have to be complete in the same year? or can I close, place into service in mid December 2026 and have a few stays. Then take the property out of service, do renovations and place back into service and claim both the pad and the cost seg in 2027?

when I try to open the Uncle Sam Slayer link it opens a zoom link?
