., it beats air fare and hotel for going out there yourself.

I do have a goal to read one book a month for the rest of my life and air far so good (I'm only two months in).I'm pretty sure I haven't covered everything in my introduction so if anyone has any questions or has advice to give my eyes and ears are open.

A nice week-long vacation in many areas will run you $2500 once you tally air fare, hotel, food, and rental car so when you put it into perspective, the money you spent isn't that bad.

All I can see so far is Selfridge Airfare base just north of the home. 

Long Distance TravelIf you travel overnight for your rental activity, you can deduct your airfare, hotel bills, meals and other expenses.Be aware that IRS auditors closely scrutinize deductions for overnight travel—and many taxpayers get caught claiming these deductions without proper records to back them up.

Got the bonus points within like two weeks and my wife and I got airfare to cancun for like $150 in fees in June.

The cost of investing in the wrong location vs right is the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the OP and not just hotel and airfare twice a year. 

You can deduct the travel to and from (mileage or airfare), you can deduct lodging for the day of business as well as a day on either side for travel.

I would calculate some airfare into your projections.

If you're out of town, I'd even recommend flying in for the next 2 or 3 day Bootcamp (on the GaREIA calendar) -- even with airfare, it's gonna be cheaper than some guru course, it's in the actual location where you're investing (or want to invest), and you'll meet many of your online connections in person.Same goes for anyone wanting to invest remotely elsewhere.
