About a month ago, we had to evacuate to visit family due to hurricane Irma. We have a rental property in the area that we inspected and did some work on while we were there too as a bonus to the trip. I wonder from a tax perspective what, if any part of the trip we can write off?

Sept 7th (Thursday): Drove part way to rental house from FL (~11 hr). Stayed in Hotel for the night.

Sept 8th (Friday): Finished Drive (~5 hr)

Sept 9th (Saturday): Drove ~2 Hr and inspected rental house (approx. 2 hr). Emailed property management company.

Sept 10th (Sunday): Nothing

Sept 11th(Monday): Drove ~2hr to cleaned out and repaired house (~6hr).  Met with property manager.  

Sept 12th(Tuesday): Nothing

Sept 13 (Wednesday): Nothing

Sept 14 (Thursday): Removed trash from property, drove home (~12 hr).

Our expenses were limited to mileage, a hotel, and meals during this stay.
