What others have said but additionally, pretty sure meals are only deductible at 50%.

So I could say that I purchased the meal for a client? 

So, I will be going to the 3 day Andrew Holmes real estate class its gotten more expensive $160 now but you get 3 hot meals!

I plan to sell convenience items as well as fresh produce, baked goods, and hot meals.

Uniqueness, location, accessibility and of course excellent, and I mean excellent customer service.We have a 2-3 truly 5-star vacation-esque STRs where we work locally with chauffeur services, restaurants for catering, chefs for on demand meals, etc., dog walkers for their pets-- plenty of services-- that the property managers can coordinate a full service weekend experience for a wealthy elderly couple from New York.

So thats the other side of the coin.. by the time you find another one you will spend another inspection another apprasial fee another flight more hotel more meals out etc etc..

If so, I'd like to invite you to a FREE meal on me!

To qualify, property owners must meet specific criteria:Guest stay duration: Rentals must average no more than seven days per guest.Service level: Owners must provide services comparable to a hotel, such as daily cleaning, meals, or transportation.

You can deduct the meals as business meals, if not included with the hotel. 

In my case, on all of my properties, appreciation is the "steak and all of the sides" of my investments and the cash flow is the Merlot that goes with the meal.
