DFU Tax Advisors works with high-net-worth individuals, business owners, STR investors, and entrepreneurs to identify and implement the strategies the ultra-wealthy use to legally minimize taxes. If you own an Airbnb or short-term rental, you are sitting on one of the most powerful tax loopholes in the tax code.
You do not need more tax software or a new CPA who files the same return every year. You need someone who identifies the strategies your current advisor has never mentioned and actually implements them.

Most STR owners report their properties as passive and get zero benefit. That is a costly mistake. With the right structuring, your short-term rental losses can offset your W-2 salary, business income, or any other active income dollar for dollar.
When your average guest stay is 7 days or fewer, your STR is removed from the passive activity rules entirely. Losses become non-passive and offset any income you have, no Real Estate Professional Status required.
A cost segregation study reclassifies components of your property into 5 and 7-year assets. Combined with 40% bonus depreciation in 2026, this creates a large Year 1 loss that wipes out your tax bill.
You must log more than 100 hours in the STR activity and more than anyone else, including your property manager. We show you exactly how to track and document this to survive an audit.
If you also own a business, you can rent your STR to your business for up to 14 days per year. Tax-free income to you, deductible expense to the business, stacked on top of everything else.
