Hi all, Rati & Shaun here- newbies! 🐋 Why do you want to save money on taxes? Not just “to save money” — but what does that money actually mean for your life? For us, it means building something bigger than just income. It means putting money away for our kids’ future, creating real financial freedom, and stepping out of the constant pressure and burnout that comes with demanding careers. It means getting our time back — being present, not just busy. 🐙 Where are you right now in your journey? We’re at the beginning stages — but moving with intention. We have one LTR in the works and another on the way. My husband brings experience with flips and long-term rentals, so we’re building on that foundation and scaling strategically. 🏖️ What’s your #1 challenge right now — your “big domino”? Right now, everything hinges on two things: - Making sure we qualify for REPS status this year - Finding the right property that works as an STR If we get those pieces right, everything else starts to fall into place.

I'm happy to have joined this community. STR owner. I love to learn & I'm interested in max tax savings so I can use the funds towards another investmentproperty!

Been here a while but never posted my intro post! • Why do you want to save money on taxes? Not just “to save money” — but what does that money mean for your life? Hoping to retire from my W2 earlier than originally planned so I can spend more time with my family. • Where are you right now in your journey? We purchased our first STR in the Smokies, October of last year! I am hooked and hoping to purchase our second at the end of this year or next year in a beach market — looking specifically at PCB right now. • What’s your #1 challenge right now — your “big domino”? The one thing that would make everything else easier? Definitely feel like there’s so much I can learn from this group. I have questions around entity structures and LLC creation especially now that I’m trying to learn more about co-hosting. Excited to learn more from this group.

1.) Why do I want to save money on taxes? We have a wedding to pay for this year, and likely another in the next couple of years. We're nearing 50 years old, but have no retirement or savings, so putting something away for that would be amazing. 2.) Where am I at in my journey? I flipped my first property from Jan-March, and about to close on a property I hope to make a furnished MTR, while also continuing to look for my next flip. 3.) What's my biggest challenge right now? Bookkeeping. Knowing what software to use and how to categorize things in the REI world is confusing right now. Excited to be here and learn!

I didn’t even know this group existed. I have signed up for his tax strategy group and what a bonus this is. How did I go a whole month and not know this Community is here! I’m so excited to learn from everyone. We just bought our fifth property and are currently remodeling it in the 30A area.
