How Airbnb Investors Get Tax Savings Most People Miss (ft. Lamè Kinikini)

Short-term rentals aren't just about cash flow — they're one of the most powerful tax strategies available to W-2 earners and entrepreneurs. In this episode, Lamè Kinikini breaks down how STRs can offset active income, create long-term wealth, and why most investors misunderstand the opportunity. Lamè is the guy behind Elk Ridge Investments and one of the best operators I know in the short-term rental space. He's built a portfolio across 15 states and carved out a niche helping investors use STRs to reduce their tax liability, build equity, and buy properties the right way. We talked about his family's immigrant story, the mindset he built from watching his grandfather chase the American dream, and how door-to-door sales unexpectedly launched him into real estate. Then we got deep into the STR tax loophole, cost segregation, depreciation, and how everyday W-2 earners use these investments to offset active income. If you've ever wondered how the wealthy actually use tax strategy to get ahead — this episode will open your eyes. //CONNECT WITH LAMÈ Instagram: @lamekinikini  👉 Book a success call with my team here: https://legacywealthholdings.com/success-call/ 👍 And don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode of The Legacy Podcast!  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@legacypodofficial⁩   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AJ6RPeN4m0mlWCROfpJxL Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-legacy-podcast-with-tim-bratz/id1587360954?ls=1
