Actually, Account Closed what I meant to say was I am excited about traveling somewhere to look around.  

Now, to be fair, most such properties are bought out of pocket with no financing (lenders aren't keen on non-habitable properties) and, consequently, no appraisal.  

It's also located on a very heavily traveled frontage road that exceeds 50k cars/day and parallels one of San Diego's most heavily traveled freeways.

I travel a lot but started my investing in the Bay Area.

Realtors have a bad habit of closing out the listing as expired after 90 days in the MLS and then opening up a whole new listing for it.

I am a Canadian, and have already established a LLC in Nevada and I would like to get some advice as to how I should claim my travel expenses to and from Canada-Nevada.

The most common way to account for the non-habitability (which lack of running water would certainly qualify) of a rental unit is to take the monthly rent amount and divide it by the number of days in the month and then multiply that by the number of days that the property wasn't habitable. 

For work, I will be traveling to Brazil for maybe a week at a time.

Some people like you want a house paid for others like me could care less, My wife and I plan to rent in retirement while still holding our portfolio of properties (I think I should write a blog post about this) The short version is we plan to sign 6 month and year leases at various Caribbean islands and European cities, basically a life of travel, at a slow place, if we are liking a place we might stay a few years but in general we will mange our rentals via email and the like while traveling slowly around the world.

With good saving habits and cutting out my cab habit, I can save 6,000 per year.
