I listened to Amanda Han's podcast and read her book  "Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor".

Two from the US that come to mind are Amanda Han and Brandon Hall.

There are other threads on cross-border accounting on BP that also give some recommendations of accountants that others use for their cross-border investing.I would strongly recommend consulting an business attorney knowledgeable in cross-border entity creation as well that can help guide you regarding the pros and cons of operating as an entity.Business trips are absolutely tax deductible as long as the expenses are reasonable (see Amanda Han's recent book - it's a good primer on real estate taxes).

What say you, Amanda?

@Amanda Coleman  too funny I have only been working in Portland since 1992.. and still don't know PSU from U of P other than one is public and one is I think the catholic school... so yes. 

Michael,2 CPA's come to mind Amanda Han and Brandon Hall.  

And it's written by a BP user/contributor, @Amanda Han.There's also a few other BP books here that you might checkout.

Thank you Amanda, I guess the part I'm wondering about is whether it is risky to hold it or if the potential appreciation looks good....comes down to bubble or no bubble?

Amandas question about *really* needing somewhere to live is also very relevant. 

Hello Amanda.
