Keep this documentation with all of your other tax receipts for the basis of your property.Just a personal preference - Meals and Entertainment is too grey of an area for the IRS, so I personally do not write off any meals when I travel to look at property.  

But would be willing to advise you, if asked... for the small price.. of a coffee or meal. 

But at the end of the day all I really care about is how much the meal costs me and how the wait staff is paid doesn't really matter.I also think that a realtor working on a $2 MM deal should be able to earn more per hour than a realtor working on a $200K deal.

By planning out meals, chores, shopping, etc, your time becomes optimized and you have more time for doing the activities you enjoy.

C's can have some favorable tax treatment- cafeteria benefits (really cool- we love the small, closely held private corporation model for this reason-- though we don't own real estate in our C corp-- that's another story) which can include education, life and health insurance, child care, and even fitness facilities, meals, and other benefits- pre tax).  

In my house I can cook almost any meal on a stove or in an oven.

I was always spending money in the name of being a Realtor (MLS monthly fees, yard signs, clothes, meals, gas, websites, promotions, etc.) but very little was coming back so I decided not to renew my license.

By doing this there are numerous tax strategies that come into play by increasing deductions including meals/travel write offs, paying family member on payroll so you’re shifting the income on to them so you’re essentially paying the SE tax.

Copious amounts of coffee.6am - Off to my office where I check my bank accounts, investment accounts and email.Check Facebook for a few minutes and fight the urge to get into fight about politics.Turn off my computer, pick up whatever real estate book I'm reading and spendthe next several hours studying, taking notes and researching.Around 9:30 or  10 I eat breakfast and start work.After reading other's posts, I feel like I should be drinking more tea and meditating or something healthier.

2020 is around the corner and most people are making new years resolutions; exercise more, eat healthier, be happy, etc.
