Most property managers and co-hosts pitch homeowners on management fees.

Mike Reilly pitches them on $100,000 in tax savings. And it closes more deals than anything else.

In this Portfolio Clinic training, Mike breaks down the STR tax loophole — why it works, who qualifies, and exactly how to use it to attract high-income homeowners and win management contracts.

This is not investment or tax advice. But it is the most powerful conversation you can have with a prospective homeowner — and most co-hosts and property managers are never having it.

In this training Mike covers:

- Why taxes are the #1 expense for every high-income W2 earner and business owner

- How a doctor making $375K in California goes from a $145K tax bill to a $47K tax bill — with one STR

- What a cost segregation study is and how it accelerates depreciation in year one

- The two requirements to qualify for the STR loophole: 7-day average stay and 100+ hours of material participation

- Why 90% of CPAs don't know this loophole exists — and how to help your homeowner educate theirs

- The exact conversation flow to have with prospective and new homeowners

- How Mike charges a $20-25K consulting and design fee upfront — then takes over management in year two

- Real results: one homeowner got $80K back this year, another got $60K last year

- How to structure the deal so the homeowner qualifies AND you get the management contract

- What to do with a cost segregation study if the homeowner wants to be fully passive

- How to handle depreciation recapture and when to recommend a 1031 exchange

This is one of the highest-leverage strategies a co-host or property manager can learn right now.
