With my PM I find when a new tenant moves in, there are usually a few small things; but they do them in one trip.

If so and that is true then technically in theory couldn't I earn enough frequent flyer miles to make enough trips for free, that compensate for the amount of money that taxes would need to be paid for by owning that property in whatever state I'm investing in for that Airbnb or home away property? 

It has been a fascinating trip and a couple more days remaining.

I've made the NJ to RI trip for several years at least a couple times a year.

There are plenty of great markets why not pick one where you can enjoy business trips to  for write offs.Best of luck in search of your market!

Another idea we plan to do is to take a trip to Georgia for like 2 weeks meet with a few agents that are willing to show us around in those towns I mentioned above.

I'm curious how @Brandon Turner's trip went.

Most people get tripped up over the security deposit ordinance, so going to a move-in fee is an easy solve here.

The trip from Austin is far to get some Full Sail IPA, but it is pretty good

The two part test for completely deferring all tax is that you purchase at least as much as you sell (net after costs/commissions but before mortgage pay off) and you must use all of your proceeds in the next purchase or purchases.Where this could trip you up is if you're thinking of using cash from an outside source to pay off debt now before you sell.
