STR MinionFor STR hosts claiming the short-term rental loophole
Log your rental work in seconds — and prove it.
Capture every hour by chat or voice, as you do it. At year-end STR Minion turns those contemporaneous entries into an audit-defensible record of material participation under IRC §469.

Type it or say it. Confirm. Done.
Reconstructed logs lose audits
The IRS has repeatedly denied material-participation claims when time logs were rebuilt from memory after the audit notice arrived. Contemporaneous records — entries made close to the work — survive; quarterly spreadsheets built from memory do not. STR Minion stamps every entry the moment you log it and flags anything reconstructed after the fact, so your record holds up.
