In this episode, Sarah Willis and Suzanne Moore break down what it really takes to win STR (short-term rental) deals — especially during the chaotic rush of Q4.

They share an incredible true story: a client who missed an STR duplex in Bend by ONE day… only to get a second chance when the original deal fell apart. Learn how Zillow alerts, backup offers, and quick action turned a missed opportunity into a major win.

You’ll also hear about: • Navigating STR permits and zoning in Bend • Why smart investors plan early instead of scrambling in December • A case study of a December STR purchase that still made it across the finish line • Sarah & Suzanne’s own STR sale in Rhododendron, Oregon — from purchase to cash-flow in months • How emotional management affects investor success • What to do when inventory doesn’t match your criteria

If you're building passive income through STRs or hoping to secure an investment before year-end, this episode is filled with strategy, timing, and inspiration.

In Episode 25, Suzanne and Sarah dive deep into a powerful wealth-building framework every investor should understand: The Infinity Loop — a cycle of buying STRs, using accelerated depreciation, deferring taxes, and repeating the process to build sustainable, multigenerational wealth.

They explore:

• Why STRs are outperforming long-term rentals for W2 earners
• Current tax opportunities, including 100% bonus depreciation returning in 2025
• The roles of cost segregation, material participation, and REPS
• How to defer taxes indefinitely using 1031 exchanges
• How wealthy families pass property tax-free with a step-up in basis

Real-life examples and client wins demonstrate how the Infinity Loop helps investors shelter income, scale more quickly, and replace their W2 earnings. The episode wraps with community updates, upcoming meetups, and how listeners can join their curated weekly STR deal list.
