Kansas City is about to take center stage as it hosts one of the biggest global events with the World Cup, and that spotlight brings a surge of opportunity. Homeowners are asking a simple but powerful question: can you rent out your home during the event and keep the income tax-free? It all points back to a little-known strategy called the Augusta Rule, a tax provision that sounds almost too good to be true, but isn’t as simple as it seems.

In this episode, Scott breaks down what the Augusta Rule actually is, where it came from, and how it applies to real-world situations like the World Cup.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

⚽ Major events create real financial opportunities

🧾 The Augusta Rule allows limited tax-free rental income

⏱️ 14-day limit is critical—go over and rules change

💸 Pricing must be realistic and defensible

⚠️ The “hassle tax” can outweigh the upside
