The write-off comes from the cost segregation estimate below. Not tax advice.

Cost segregation estimate

An estimate from the listing: every part of the home is priced from national construction costs, less wear for age, and the price (less land) is spread over the parts in proportion. The headline is what a typical cost seg study would claim for this property. The answers below are optional refinements.

Model-based estimate, not an engineered cost segregation study. The IRS doesn’t approve studies; get a professional study before filing. Using these losses against W-2 income needs the short-term rental exception (average stay ≤7 days + material participation). The 39-year building life applies because stays average under 30 days, a separate test (27.5 years for a long-term rental). Federal only: California, Georgia and Wisconsin disallow bonus depreciation, Ohio adds back 5/6 of it, and Tennessee has no personal income tax. Not tax advice.

Market note

Rules differ by jurisdiction. The City of La Crosse requires a short-term rental license ($100 a year) once you rent more than 10 nights a year, plus a Wisconsin tourist rooming house license and inspection from the La Crosse County Health Department. We found no owner-occupancy rule or night cap in the city, but the license does NOT transfer to a new owner. Onalaska allows rentals with a city permit in some zoning districts, and unincorporated towns follow La Crosse County zoning, which has its own permit and day limits. Wisconsin law lets local governments restrict stays under 7 nights. Verify parcel eligibility with the city or county before you buy.
