Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, this seems like a tricky issue so i want to get the exact numbers so i do it correctly. I rented the house on VRBO for a total of 110 days. I was there working 16 hours a day on the house by myself for 19 days. I then stayed another 16 days with my wife and kids there and still worked on the house but i also saw relatives and spent some time with the kids. I worked somewhere between 50% of the time and 35% of the time on the house during these 16 days. I can tell by the receipts i have during this time so i know what projects i completed and about how much time they took. The conservative estimate would be 16 days at 35% effort is 10 days. At 50% effort it is 8 days.
10% of the 110 VRBO days is 11 days. So no matter how you look at it i was under the 10% of the total guest rental number of days and i can pretty much prove it with project lists and receipts.
i will adjust these numbers into the system but i have a question.
do i count the days i worked there as days someone was staying?
would the total days the house was occupied be 110+19+6. or do i just ignore the 19 and 6 days i was there working.
thanks for the help,
