That's where they nailed me in my audit yet it was fully documented.

So I resubmitted it by breaking it down specific to each property (& we have a lot). The mileage, the time there, reason why etc etc.

It finally past scrutiny.

& remember before you drive from home to the property you go to the hardware store, bank or post office on business : )

We hit 600 miles in 2013. Down from 900 in 2012.

We live within 3 miles of all five properties and self manage, plus a few trips to the big city to get specialty parts/supplies.

Meetings at Starbucks to discuss business are my favorite write off.

I don't think there is a limit but best for a tax professional to answer...
