After almost 15 years in the vacation rental management business my family and I became vacation rental property owners ourselves this past year! Being in the middle the day to day for so long as a manager, and doing our very best to make sure your guests have the best possible experience, we have undoubtedly seen our fair share of “WTH” moments. But I will say that now having the direct experience of looking at what we do from a different angle has been eye opening!

Deductible Expenses for Vacation Rental Owners

As a vacation rental owner, finding and deducting the expenses that are related to the operation of your vacation rental business can offer significant tax savings. Many rental owners fail to take advantage of all the deductions they are eligible for. Be sure to keep track of your expenses throughout the year so that when it’s time to prepare your taxes you have everything you need at hand.
