I would think that the tax's on the additional income would make it a wash.In addition you might (I'm not 100% sure) lose the 250K tax free deduction when you sell your primary residence, as it could be argued that it is ... well, a rental property and not your primary residence.When you have multiple properties and travel between them, it makes sense, not so sure on a single residence or everyone would be doing it and it would be all over the news, internet.

Another contributing factor is if you have one or multiple unemployed people living on the property; in which case you'll see usage at all hours of the day in your hourly report. 

I am looking to build my portfolio enough so my wife and I can travel and have more family time with our son and soon (october) daughter.

Hello I’m looking for any suggestions on property inspectors in this area or that will travel to the area.

And a tech company booked out two weeks for business clients... had a traveling nurse.

I have found deals driving around in my travels for work.
