About the only deduction I'll take is travel expenses to go and inspect my own properties which are 1100 miles away.  

Are you renting a basement apartment medium-term to traveling nurses?

I am looking to first a way to retire earlier to spend time with my family and travel!

I sent it about 108 days....Mail takes a while to travel and since I also sent it return receipt (extra cost to have her sign for it), I wanted to give her a few extra days, in case she missed the delivery and would have to go to the post office to pick it up.

We like to travel, so we rent a lot of STRs....hate staying in hotels. 

Heavily invested in real estate & then retiring in '98 I eliminated my biggest danger to life ... traveling 2 hours to/from a JOB in crazy traffic every day. 

I am only looking to invest in rental properties within this area, as I am more familiar with the location and is within travel distance.Curious to hear what others have seen, and thoughts in investing rental properties in the Bay Area that shows positive cash flow.Thanks!

I'm a licensed agent in South Florida but I have been traveling and inactive for about 2 years.

There are obviously some loopholes especially with people who travel 24/7 for work.

People always travel for those big live shows and conventions that happen there pretty frequently, and much of the time they need a place to stay.
