He toured a unit that we have ready for rent and agreed to releases the CO with some minor modification.

I will caution you though, we have a running joke at our office and when touring properties that are very mismanaged.

For example, if, in an 18 hour waking period, you spend 2 hours snooping through the AirBNB, writing down the makes and models of appliances, figuring out the distribution of the mini shampoos and inventorying how many cooking supplies your hosts are providing and the thread count of the sheets, then an auditor might allow you to take 10% of your total trip expenses as a deduction.If, however, in an 18 hour waking period, you spend 6-8 hours per day interviewing Hosts, researching which properties would make good AirBNBs, researching the local laws, touring properties, meeting with an agent and vigorously pursuing your next acquisition, you'd have a MUCH better case for writing off your travel expenses (but probably not your lift tickets and equipment rental).If, on the other hand, you are traveling and on vacation and just hang out in your AirBNB without actually performing any activities, then the odds that an auditor will allow any deduction at all is pretty minimal.In any audit, it would be up to you to document the business purpose of your trip.  

I think capex will be easy to figure out once we tour the property and have the roof, driveway, and building inspected.

They come for funerals and weddings, for conventions, for Cyclovia and El Tour and Dia de los Muertos,” said Johnston, who holds the status of an Airbnb “superhost” — one who has nothing but five-star reviews from customers.Johnston said she strives to include special touches — local history books on the coffee table, piñatas on the patio, cowboy boots on a shelf — to give visitors “a sense of what Tucson is all about.”

@Wesley W.Yes-Zillow’s “I am available to tour” button is ridiculous …no prescreening possible; most don’t know what property they clicked if you call back…worthless

These all add quality of life visible on the tour.

People come from all over to tour the bourbon facilities, the concerts, river events. 

If they have been doing showings for you (going to actual properties and touring for you), it would be somewhat rude to dump them for a different agent.For the last 3 houses that I bought, I have not used a buyer's agent. 

I have read that some people offer to book tours, or bicycle trips or boat rides for the guests.
