Overseas property deductions

[Sam Stout]

Hey there,

    So I own a piece of land in the Czech Republic, which I am designing a home to be built on, but it's not as quick of a process as you may think.  My question is, can I write off my travel expenses for me and my family to go there once a year?  Can I write off the Airbnb charge to rent a home in the village where our land is?  Can I write off the costs of designing the home, even if it hasn't been built yet?

Thanks!
