Can it be rented short-term?
Portland requires a short-term rental permit. Both types need a resident who lives there 270+ days a year, so a home no one lives in does not qualify.
- Type A
- Up to 2 bedrooms.
- Type B
- 3 or more bedrooms, and a conditional use review.
Mt. Hood and the Gorge follow their own county and city rules. Check those too.
Will the tax math work?
For high earners who qualify, cost segregation and bonus depreciation can turn a short-term rental into a large first-year deduction against W-2 or business income. It depends on two tests and on your CPA.
