First-Time Investment Home Buyer Program
A simple path for buyers who want their first investment property to lower taxes and create income without guessing through the process.
Simple version
One home. Lower taxes. More income.
You buy a rental home that guests book for short stays. A tax study may create a large year-one write-off. That write-off may lower the tax on your paycheck. The home may also earn rent while it grows in value. That is the idea, but the city rules and your CPA still decide whether the plan works.
How we walk through it
Start with your numbers
We review your income, cash to close, reserves, and timing before we look at properties.
Pick the right market
We compare Washington short-term rental markets by revenue, risk, rules, and entry price.
Check the city and the setup
Rules are local. We screen permits, lodging rules, utilities, and manager coverage before you commit.
Hand the file to your CPA
Your CPA confirms tax treatment, participation, timing, and whether the plan belongs in your return.
What is actually true right now
The tax play is real
Short-term rentals, cost segregation, and bonus depreciation are still part of real tax planning conversations in July 2026.
The city matters more than the state
Washington rules are local. A property can look good on paper and still fail if the city or county setup does not work.
Simple message
A Washington short-term rental may lower your tax bill if it is set up right and located in a city that allows it.

Common questions
Clear answers first. If one question changes the deal, bring it into the review before you move money.
Q1Do I need to be an investor already?+
No. This program is built for first-time investment buyers who want a simpler path and clear next steps.
Q2Can one property really help lower my tax bill?+
Sometimes. The property, the city rules, your participation, and your CPA review all matter before you count on any savings.
Q3Do you replace my CPA?+
No. I handle the real estate plan, market choice, and property screening. Your CPA confirms the tax treatment before you act.
