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.
