In this Ask Me Anything episode of the Paul Morris Podcast, Paul Mark Morris explains how homeowners can rent out their primary home for up to 14 days per year with zero federal income tax on the rent under Section 280A (“Augusta Rule”), and how going to 15 days removes the exclusion and changes the strategy. He shares cautions about local short-term rental rules, HOAs, insurance, and documentation, including a business-owner approach where a company may deduct reasonable rent for legitimate meetings held at the home. Morris also breaks down the “100% write-off” via cost segregation and bonus depreciation, what income it can offset, passive-loss limits, and recapture and state conformity issues. He then answers investor questions on LLC pros/cons and costs, whether to buy now or wait for rates, real estate’s outlook for 2026, investing out of state, and ADU vs. another property. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Tax Free Side Hustle 00:00:53 Market Snapshot Today 00:01:12 Important Disclaimer 00:03:10 14 Day Rental Rule 00:06:05 Business Meeting Rent 00:08:05 Bonus Depreciation 100% 00:12:28 LLC Pros and Cons 00:17:07 Buy Now or Wait 00:19:09 Real Estate in 2026 00:22:59 Where to Invest 00:24:32 ADU Versus Rental 00:26:54 Final Disclaimer Wrap
