In this German‑language solo presentation, the speaker explains a strategy for maximizing tax depreciation on short‑term vacation‑rental real estate. He emphasizes choosing properties with vacation‑friendly amenities (e.g., pools, tourist locations) and then allocating the purchase price by assigning roughly 20 % to land and the remaining 80 % to the building. A portion of the building (about 40 % of the improvement cost) is re‑characterized as residential property, allowing the investor to apply bonus depreciation. This can generate a write‑off ranging from roughly 40 % to 80 % of the investment, creating significant tax deductions and improving cash flow. The speaker notes that the figures are illustrative and not guaranteed.
