Answering the quesitons from the intro video. 1. Why do I want to save money on taxes? Hoping to execute this STR Tax Loophole correctly to help offest our W2's to then come in with a decent downpayment on our next STR, hopefully being able to repeat the process to boost our portfolio. 2. Where are you in the journey? My wife and I closed on our first STR, beach house in Florida on Friday. Prepping and working on it right now to get ready for guests hopefully before 1 October. 3. Number 1 challenge for me right now would be the lack of understanding of tax code/taxes in general. Tie that with the lack of time available to learn it. If I could easily understand/quickly understand it all, it would definitely help.

Eager to get going! My wife and I have been lucky enough to have worked for startups that eventually IPO'd, generating large (at least "large" to us) Cap Gains. A blessing. Year after year writing large checks to the IRS made me sick. Our former CPA was hardly strategic and we got tired of hearing "paying Uncle Sam all that money is a good problem to have, right?" Two or so years ago I left my w-2 job and focused on buying a business. The idea was to implement the "Buy then Build' blueprint, but after countless deal reviews, LOI's and offers that didn't stick... I went back to the drawing board. Oh- and we also had our second child. How could I simply keep more of the money that we earned each year? Enter STR "loophole". We close next month on our first STR property in Maine... and that's what led us to Ryan and his team.

My wife and have decided to launch a STR business to help change our family’s legacy. We have purchased 2 properties that will go live early 2027 and, as a result, seek to minimize our tax responsibilities as best as we are legally able.
