Here's an Airbnb trick that most owners don't know. If you're buying furniture, any appliances, or anything for your Airbnb that's going to cost less than $2,500 each item, you can actually write it off entirely the first year you bought it. This is something that real estate investors take advantage of that every common person can do as well. If you don't do this, then you're going to depreciate all of your personal belongings that you added to the Airbnb over a period of 30 nine years, even though we know it'll never last more than a couple years.
