Tax Strategist/ CPA needed
I am an investor living in southern California. I own a duplex in Ohio and some land lots around the country. I need help with taxes and getting the most out of the tax code, including educating me on how to write off travel fare to my units.

@Levi Giafaglione
You want to plan your travel accordingly.
If you plan it property, the air flight, hotel, certain meals and certain local travel(Uber / Taxi) can become deductible.
Be mindful that Ohio is a very unique state because many localities have their own separate filing obligations.
I.E. If you have a rental property in Cleveland, you may be required to file a Cleveland Locality tax Return.
This would result in having to file a Federal return, California return, Ohio return and Cleveland return.
Not many tax professionals know about this requirement.
best of luck to you in your search
