I recently bought a two family home and the basement is fully finished without a kitchen but ample space  and I have been recently toying with the idea of renting the basement atleast as a room sharing however being a older home it doesn't have the kind of electrical capacity to accomodate a decent electric stove which has very high amperage requirements (atleast 150 amps -200 amps) besides I am not considering gas stove as an option.As is I can envision fuse tripping beside I don't have any 220 line,also it gets very cold in winter in the basement so I will most likeli need a supplemental heater in the basement so elctric upgrade seems like a must if I decide to rent it out.However I was wondering would it be a better idea to have solar panels to supplement my additional electrical needs? 

For example, if they are coming for a ski trip, they are not going to look at anything west of I-15.

After I find one, I double and triple check who the decision makers are so I am not wasting my trip.

When it gets too hot in July and August...road trip and go see clients!

@Chris MacDonald Your trip must be primarily for business (ordinary and necessary -- necessary meaning more like "appropriate" than "absolutely have to") to get some deductions.  

Are there any checks and balances for power-tripping 203k consultants who try to hold the project hostage?

Even if I took a couple of days to inspect, I could still close that deal by Friday and then close again later that day to sell to my investor.It's not the "closing" part that causes the problems; it's the "finding a cash buyer willing to pay my price before my contract expires" step that trips up most wholesalers.

Write off the trips. 

Looking for advice on how to approach this, I have no problem making the trip for a week or so.
