I am not sure that there are necessarily agents that are "specialists" in working with out of area investors, but there are definitely people here who are patient and honest and for me that is a great mix for a buyer buying wanting to do things himself from a long way.If you want the recommendations, fire me a pm and I will share with you a few to get started calling.

He is a tax specialist, real estate activity, translator, and a county election poll worker.I think the court case is stating that the taxpayer was in the business of flipping(buying, rehabbing and selling properties) instead of in the business of being a real estate agent(buying/selling properties in behalf of others).The fact that he was deemed a flipper and did not flip any properties - he was deemed not to have been in an active trade or business.The mileage may have potentially accumulated as start-up costs and deducted/amortized at the time the first flip was conducted.If he showed properties for people other than his friends - I think he would have been entitled to the deduction.

God knows - with Serge S and Brian Burke on the team, I would be well advised to have a compliance specialist!
