STR Tax Assessment
STR Tax Assessment
The diagnostic entry point for your STR tax situation
Two tracks. One engagement.
Same price, same timeline, same deliverable structure. Different analytical emphasis based on where you are.
Exploration Track
You're evaluating an STR investment and want to know if the tax strategy works for your income and situation. We analyze the projected economics, entity considerations, and potential impact before you commit to a purchase.
Optimization Track
You already own an STR and want to understand whether your current tax position is fully optimized. We review your actual returns, current positions, and identify specific gaps and opportunities.

Frequently asked questions
The document request depends on your track (Exploration or Optimization).

A track-specific document checklist is sent at the start of the engagement.
The Exploration Track is designed exactly for this situation. We analyze your income profile, projected STR economics, and potential tax impact to help you evaluate whether the strategy is viable for your specific situation before you commit to a purchase.
You receive a written Assessment Report and a 30-minute delivery call walking through the findings. The report includes an Opportunity Map showing what strategies are available, and if appropriate, a recommendation to move into the STR Tax Blueprint for comprehensive strategy development.

The Blueprint is prescriptive: it builds a complete, implementation-ready strategy with entity recommendations, cost segregation coordination, material participation design, multi-year projections, and a sequenced action plan.
