Some residents of Augusta, Georgia have purchased tickets to the Master’s for years but have never attended the famous golf tournament. It’s because they include the tickets as a bonus to the people who rent their home during the event.
Each year, owners rent their home for a big premium during the Masters and make tax-free income. Homeowners benefit from a little known provision in the tax code that does not require taxpayers to recognize the income derived from renting their home for less than 15 days per year. See Rental of property also used as home on IRS.gov.
Large sporting events like golf and tennis tournaments, championship games and other high attendance events increase the demand for a temporary rental of a private residence. Obviously, there are challenges with personal belongings and damage but getting a premium rental rate with a substantial deposit and not having to recognize the income could be worth it.
You’ll certainly want to discuss this with your tax professional prior to making this decision. You’ll probably also want to get some help from an experienced real estate professional.
Please note: I don’t handle rentals or property management. I work with buyers and sellers, and that’s where I can help you most.
