Then just write a check.  

Like you said, every time you visit family, you can check in on the properties and now the trip is a tax write off (consult your CPA). 

Have you seen the post that I was asking about Lamborghini to write off my Airbnb tax?

This also allows for property owners to more easily write-off assets that get damaged/destroyed as the value of these assets is determined as part of the study.

All seasoned investors know who to run the deal by before they write and that person would always fit my five point definition of a deal killer.

In additional to conducting educational workshops, I also write blogposts for their websites.

Then think about writing off your cellphone, your internet, you car, your home office, your tax prep, etc etc etc.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

While I could write a whole dissertation as to way, I have no appetite to enter into a kind of discussion in which too often egos become prevalent over helping one another.What I would do if I was in your position is to ask about investing in the US to somebody who actively invests there and ask about investing overseas to somebody who actively invests in Europe and the Caribbean and then draw your own conclusions.

@Scott Schnabel actually, the cities of Hazel Park and Warren require a DL from someone at the PMC and write the tickets in their personal name.
