SHORT TERM RENTALS

I have a condo and am currently renting it out as a short term rental for about 275 days a year.  I have a property management company. 

  • Are there any situations where short term rentals are not considered passive activities?
  • With a short term rental, are there any situations where you are not required to be a real estate professional in order to avoid the $25,000 limitation on claiming losses?
  • Would you explain this statement:
    • If you do not actively manage your rental, losses are only allowed if there are profits from other passive activities.
