61 days. What "placed in service" really means. ⏳
Closing on a property isn't the finish line for 2026 tax planning. The IRS generally treats property as placed in service when it's ready and available for a specific use — for an STR, that usually means furnished, utilities on, photos done, and a listing live and accepting bookings.
Work backward from Dec 31. Escrow, furnishing, photos, and listing setup all take time.
