All it takes is one bad tenant...So, there is a little piece of my story all wrapped up in a ball with a bow for you fellow investment travelers!

With today's apps I simply forward my expense and travel app reports and my bank statement each month and I'm done with books.

The deduction would go on schedule E as travel costs.If you are traveling to look at properties - the answer it different.Another reminder is that you may need to report to the IRS any account balances held abroad that is in excess of $10,000 during the year.

If you start east at the beach, then travel west to Rt. 70 there is a lot in the middle.

Between the day job that requires extensive travel, being a husband, dad, scout leader, etc I think I have all I can handle.

My name is Dillon Barnhart, and I just recently stumbled onto the BP community.A little bit about myself, I grew up in Northern California, but have been in the military for the last eight years and done my fair share of traveling around.

I've been living on the road for the past 9 months with my long time girlfriend who is a travel nurse.  

I still have a full-time job so I am looking to get into buy and hold type of deals preferably in my area so I can be on top of it without having to travel too much.

There aren't any REI groups in my area and I travel 5 1/2 days a week.

I love the idea that you're targeting these institutions as I truly believe these places (Hopkins Medical Facility, Universities, etc) will be the difference in long term growth here in Baltimore.
