How the partnership works

An active role in a real property.

You join as a capital partner in a short-term rental. Elk Ridge handles much of the work, from sourcing the property to furnishing it and coordinating ongoing operations. You take an active role, with 100+ hours a year of hands-on work like building the guest guidebook and visiting the property.

Partner, not landlord

Own the address. Partner in the work.

You invest through your own holding company and take an active role in the partnership. Elk Ridge’s support helps reduce the operational demands of ownership, and we keep the records your tax professional needs.

Inside the rental strategy

Three rules behind the rental strategy.

The part we help you document for your tax professional.

01 · Short stays change the rules

When the average guest stays 7 days or less, the property isn't a "rental activity" under the passive loss rules.

02

You materially participate.

100+ hours a year of hands-on, operational work, and more than anyone else. Building the guest guidebook and visiting the property count. Reviewing P&Ls and reports does not.

03

Depreciation timing.

Cost segregation and bonus depreciation rules may apply. Your tax professional decides how they fit your situation.
