My friend broke his leg shortly after closing on a primary residence so had to go live with his parents for better part of the year while he recover since his property had a flight of stairs and that he needed help due to the nature of injury.

or at least a venue that does not require a connecting flight..   

The reason I was given, is that they (the sellers) saw me as less of a flight risk being as that I was less emotionally involved given the fact that the home was going to become a rental property.

Lyft saves a ton of time vs rental car at the airport, and several of my flights were timed pretty close on time.

These engines will undergo testing at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center on the historic Test Stand 4670.

@Donald MacMillanInvestors can deduct travel for education purposes.Now, the question is whether the trip's cost(flight + hotel + car + meals) are 100% deductible or partially deductible.You may need to have a conversation with your CPA where your trip is predominately business related to make the trip 100% deductible.Best of luck

Also firm on my schedule: take 4 major trips, one every 3 months - we just got back from 2 weeks Bora Bora, let me tell you: I did not miss Wisconsin and it was well worth the long flight :-)

Its hard to get on a flight for the lazy wall street hedge funds.

I also have family in Florida so that's why I am looking there and as far as the other states go, that is where we have direct flights out of Rochester to so if I needed to, I could get there for a deal quickly. 

Flights can be incredibly cheap if timed correctly and they can be expensed as well, so in my mind, there is no excuse not to visit a property periodically (in the realm of once every year or two, or as necessary).
