However, now you (depends on how this Trump tax bill works out in 2019) can write off many things that deal with the rental property: depreciation, interest rate, fix and repairs, utility, traveling to rental unit.

Goal is to be "Set For Life" in a couple of years and be able to travel anywhere anytime. 

Preferably within 10 miles of my house to cut down on travel time.

When traveling, I enjoy using the app to gain a general sense for properties available in other markets.  

Due to it's location, it is about an hour south, north, and east of three other major paintball fields, with lots of players in the area likely traveling to other areas. 

However, legal expenses and travel would add up fast on top of the 15k I am already out.

Unfortunately since I am out of state and the previous owner collected the rents door to door, having them continue that way would have me traveling to that location monthly just for rent.

I’m in Knoxville but watch the Nashville market very closely, it’s my wife and my’s favorite city and we travel there often.

I've been traveling for almost 30 years.

Following up on #2, do you think we should also vet travelers?
