If the trip is primarily personal in nature, the traveling expenses to and from the destination are not deductible even though the taxpayer engages in business activities while at such destination.

I'm and CA girl who's now in PA... loving nature and excited to expand my contact list and grow my Company portfolio!

I would ask if it is natural gas or propane. 

Given you bought a little studio, that's unlikely to be the case.Hopefully I don't sound negative, as this isn't my nature or my purpose. 

That could be expensive , if you are tying in to natural gas at the street , 5 grand and up . more if they have to cross the road . 

I am also a natural introvert, but have learned that putting myself out there and getting uncomfortable is a skill.My biggest suggestion would be to go to as many local in-person meetups as possible and find the people who are "moving and shaking" to become friends with them. 

Naturally I would increase the rent to more than cover the costs and I do believe it could be a great selling point for tenants to consider. 

I'm a rule-follower by nature, but unfortunately the law is written with language that is extremely unclear. 

I just viewed what looked to be a beautiful 3 unit in the photos a few days ago, but when I got there it was apparent the building had a natural gas smell in the basement, plus the owner pays all heat for the building since there is only one furnace.

It's the nature of the beast.
