I posted this in another thread, but thought it would make good food for discussion here:I've been struggling with this.

Tons of great food.

I was curious which method you go about using to track your miles for tax purposes

I prefer to do draws daily for work that has been completed.

I’ve read numerous real-estate investing books and habitually read and listen to Bigger Pockets daily.

I've been listening to the BP pod casts for a few months now on a daily basis.

I can see an issue specifically with daily rentals, but how about the monthly (or 3-6 month) rentals?

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order there is no charge to attend.

The US government has is own calculator to compare the daily APOR and the rate you want to charge to a homeowner so that you can stay within, or know what category, you loan is falling under.

Learn a LOT about investing out of state.Research the market you are going into and figure out the best markets.Make connections in those markets and vet those connections.Save up more money and move up from the war zone and go to a $30,000 to $50,000 minimum market where there is less crime, less vacant lots and vacant houses, where the police will actually respond to a call from a homeowner, where there are jobs for your tenants to work at, where there are schools for your tenants to send their children, where there are real grocery stores for them to buy real food (not gas station or fast food).
