👁🗨 Sesemi STR Hot Sheet | 📲 STR Mortgages
Dear Sesemi STReet Subscribers - This week we’re excited to announce the launch of our Statewide Luxury STR HOT SHEET at www.oregonstrs.com and don’t miss 17 HOT STRs listed for sale below!
🗓️ Closing an STR Late in the Year?
Read This: If you're purchasing in September, October, or even November, you'll have limited time to meet the material participation requirement for 2025. That means:
You must concentrate your involvement quickly: coordinate cleanings, handle every guest message, adjust pricing manually, and track all activities in real time.
100 hours in 90 days is doable—but it takes intentional effort.
The 500-hour test is likely off the table unless you're doing a massive rehab.
Tip: If you’re closing in Q4, keep a time log, use spreadsheets or tools like Stessa or QuickBooks, and avoid outsourcing guest management until January.
🎰 100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back With the 2025 tax updates, investors can again deduct 100% of eligible property components in year one via cost segregation studies.
Example: Buy a $700K vacation rental. A cost seg may yield ~$200K+ in accelerated depreciation. If you qualify under the STR loophole, you could apply that $200K loss directly against your W-2 income—potentially saving $60K+ in federal taxes (depending on your bracket).
Why Now Matters This isn't a permanent window. Lawmakers brought back 100% bonus depreciation for a limited time, and there is already talk of tapering again by 2026. That means buying in 2025 could be your best (and possibly final) shot at maximizing STR tax savings.
Meanwhile:
STR zoning is tightening across the country—but legal zones still exist here in Oregon and along the entire Coast
STR platforms continue to grow, and travel demand remains resilient in drive-to markets.
How to Take Action
Find a STR-zoned property in a high-demand market
Work with a broker who knows both real estate and tax strategy
Set up professional bookkeeping to track hours and optimize write-offs
Run a cost segregation study within your first year of ownership
Closing: The Tax Code Is Giving You a Signal
Real estate investors talk a lot about timing the market. But when the IRS opens a loophole this big—and brings back 100% bonus depreciation—you don't wait, you move.
2025 is your moment to turn tax savings into portfolio growth. If you wait, you may miss both.
