PRO SECRET: How to Slash Your Tax Bill with Real Estate Tactics!

In this Ask Me Anything episode of the Paul Morris Podcast, Paul Mark Morris explains how homeowners can rent out their primary home for up to 14 days per year with zero federal income tax on the rent under Section 280A (“Augusta Rule”), and how going to 15 days removes the exclusion and changes the strategy. He shares cautions about local short-term rental rules, HOAs, insurance, and documentation, including a business-owner approach where a company may deduct reasonable rent for legitimate meetings held at the home. Morris also breaks down the “100% write-off” via cost segregation and bonus depreciation, what income it can offset, passive-loss limits, and recapture and state conformity issues. He then answers investor questions on LLC pros/cons and costs, whether to buy now or wait for rates, real estate’s outlook for 2026, investing out of state, and ADU vs. another property.
