Hi NancyNet from deal, minus business expenses (incl mileage, business overhead, education, travel to 'find' more business, etc) = taxable income.Get an investor friendly CPA/tax person to instruct on all your write-offs, and take them.

None the less, I travel to the areas 1-3 hrs from where I live and look around a lot.Recommendations for Rural narrowed down to this:1) Find a major metro area with strong jobs and increasing population, and search up to 60 miles out.2) Find the most affordable region 60 miles out that has something special to offer in the path of progress.

Field Service means I travel a LOT!!!!!!

I would also suggest to travel to the city and meet the provider and see their operations. 

Just like an expense report that you would charge for business travel etc. to establish a legitimate separation between you as an individual and your LLC. 

I will be traveling some over the next few weeks myself, but I'm an investor, own a PM company and know a fair bit about town. 

sounds like the perfect time to take a few month sabbatical  put your stuff in storage and travel..

But, of course, with our mind set on building a rental portfolio, and the market we live in, it didn't make sense not to add an apartment over the garage to create cash flow for the mil to cover her expenses and travel as she's always wanted to.So, here we are, moving forward, plans in place, ADU permit acquired, ready to break ground and having trouble getting the Mil financed.First attempt was to get a Heloc loan, keeping it separate since she has a great rate on her first.

Hi Guys,Of course I posted this right before I went on an out of state camping trip and then had work travel.

I live in the Dayton, Ohio area but would be willing to travel to Cincinnati if need be.
