Tax Offsets for High Earners
High earners are using short-term rentals to offset W-2 and business income legally.
We'll help you buy, launch, and document one the right way.
You earn like a top 1%-er.
You're taxed like one, too.
You max out the 401(k). You give to charity. And every April you still write a check that could have bought a house.
Short-term rentals play by different rules.
The STR Advantage
Three Ingredients
How we execute the strategy for maximum tax impact and property performance.
1. The right property
A home where the average stay is 7 nights or less, in a market with real demand.
2. Your participation
We give you the systems and the sauce.
3. The right paperwork
A cost segregation study plus clean records your CPA can stand behind.
Why Cribs
The tax strategy is the easy part. Running the rental is where people lose.

Choose your path
Make your portfolio work at tax time too.
You already own real estate. Add a short-term rental with real cash flow, then let its deductions do work your long-term rentals can't. We bring underwriting backed by real booking data, not a spreadsheet guess.
You built the income. Now keep more of it.
Doctors, founders, executives, and sales leaders use this strategy to offset high W-2 and business income. You get a vacation home your family can enjoy, a business that earns, and a plan your CPA can sign off on. We'll walk you through the time commitment honestly on the call.
Your clients keep asking about the STR loophole. Now you have a partner who runs the rental.
You handle the tax strategy and the return. We handle acquisition, launch, operations support, and the documentation you need: participation logs, expense reports, and placed-in-service dates. You keep the client relationship. They get the result.
