What tax-advantaged real estate investment options work best for a W2 employee?

I’m a part-time W2 employee earning a decent income and not looking to put in extra hours at my day job. I’m interested in exploring real estate investments that come with tax benefits—perhaps ventures similar to short-term rental operations or other real estate business avenues that allow considerable tax deductions. Even if these strategies don’t completely offset my W2 tax liabilities, I would appreciate any insights into how such a setup could work effectively.

hey, maybe look into property syndications. they make it easier and offer good tax breaks without too many extra hours. not as hands-on but still work for a w2. good luck and check with a tax pro tho!
