Investors & landlords

I appreciate the advice. I do actively manage the Airbnb listing, make repairs, manage the lawn, all sorts of things, though we hire someone to clean between most guests. I wonder why my accountant, though, had told us that the best case scenario tax-wise was cancelling out all the rental income (not having capital losses to count against our jobs). I thought it was a rule for mixed-use properties, since we didn't buy it primarily as an investment.
