For STR-Focused Brokers

Help your STR buyers see true net return — before they make the offer.

Most STR buyers underwrite a deal on cash flow alone. Year-1 bonus depreciation can swing tax savings by $40K–$100K between two similar properties — and your buyer can't see it without a line-item analysis. Hand them one at the showing, and they bid with the full number in front of them.

Why this changes the deal

Cash flow alone is half the underwrite.

STR buyers who underwrite on rent and expenses leave the tax-savings half of the return on the table — until 6 months after closing. With DepreciMax, that number is in their hand at the showing.

Without DepreciMax

  • Buyer underwrites the deal on cash flow and beds — tax savings are "we'll figure it out later"
  • Buyer picks the wrong property because the bonus-eligible % is hidden until after closing
  • $5K–$8K cost seg study comes back 6 months later — Year-1 deduction is $80K less than expected
  • Buyer feels burned, blames the broker, doesn't refer you

With DepreciMax

  • Buyer underwrites the deal on true net return — cash flow + Year-1 tax savings
  • $199 co-branded comparison before the offer — not a $5K–$8K study after closing
  • Buyer offers with confidence — and at the right price — because the full math is in front of them
  • You're the broker who brought the answer. You get the next referral.
The Workflow

Screen. Compare. Hand to your buyer.

Three steps that fit a househunting trip — line up the right markets before the flight, run the comparison the night before showings, hand it to your buyer at the property so they can offer with true net return in mind.

01

Screen the market before the trip

Use the free market search to find which properties in your buyer's target zip codes have the best bonus dep potential. Build the tour around the highest-scoring listings — not whatever shows up first on Zillow.

02

Run the comparison on tour day

The night before showings, paste 2–3 Realtor.com URLs into the broker tool. A $199 co-branded comparison is ready in 3 minutes — every finish, fixture, and outdoor amenity classified by IRS tax life. Bring it to the showing.

03

Your buyer offers on true net return

Hand the PDF to your buyer at the property. They see cash flow and Year-1 tax savings side by side — $42K of tax savings can flip which house wins. They offer with the full number, not just NOI guesses. You close the deal other agents lose to "let me think about it."

Your next tour starts in 3 minutes.

Paste 2 or 3 Realtor.com URLs the night before. Hand your buyer the co-branded comparison at the showing — and let them offer on true net return.
