Plus you write off all the travel between them then. 

I am currently unable to meet them in person as we are traveling for the next 3 months for work.

I've travelled through those areas many times, and have friends who rent in Wentzville for super high prices.

Expect to travel more often than you might like when starting out, now that I have some experience and a great team I only travel when purchasing new properties.

I presume you mean those great big tall towers that hold power lines that travel long distances.

Such expenses can include travel to and from a property, out of pocket costs to make a property to look presentable and any cost to a broker to maintain a license.Since she is considered self-employed - she may be eligible to put a large portion of her earnings towards a retirement account.Since you plan to acquire more properties - you should make sure the depreciation is calculated correctly.

Thanks for the input @Matt Wood looking to travel to ATL later this month to understand the area and the house dynamics.

I know the nyc market can be really tough so I'm looking into the pa market (possibly philly, scranton, or allentown) for a few reasons. 1 reason is because these locations aren't too far for me to travel (2hours away max) and I'm planning on managing the properties myself. 2nd is because of the markets I've found i believe have some untapped potential (the scranton area especially).

In the city I live in rent literally is $900 a month for a TRAVEL TRAILER!

My husband (@Sam Wilson) and I will be traveling from Vancouver to Calgary via Banff (and a few other places along the way) from May 1-12We'd love to meet up with other investors for a coffee or a drink - especially if you are interested in investing in the Memphis market or just want to chat about REI in general.Message me if you are interested (where you are and when is good to meet).
