MY WHY:To get off the road and spend more quality time with my family and hobbies.I've spent the last thirteen years on the road as either an adventure travel guide; guiding backpackers on camping and hiking tours all across America and Mexico, or these last eight years working production 300+ days a year for touring musicians and bands.

@Jay Hinrichs I think they travel with Vacations Hawaii - Omni Airlines.

@Fred CannonIf you self-manage your own properties, you likely do things and pay for things that people who outsource the management don't do.These items are possibly traveling to your investment property to make repairs, collect rent, etc.You may also pay for tools to fix up small items.There may also be property management software that you may choose to have if you don't use a property management company.These are a list of expenses you may be able to deduct if you decide to self-manage.

I like to look at everyone as if we are all one big family, so brothers and sisters I want you to know I love you all and I hope I will learn a lot from you.

I worked on yachts from 90 feet to 285 feet as a deckhand (think handyman/exterior maintenance where the standard is perfection) and traveled on them from Florida to Spain, Nova Scotia to Nassau, and Costa Rica to Thailand.

I wish to travel frequently with my 6 (eventual 8) children, pass on a legacy to them, and fuel my passion for helping veterans.

I’m a assitant General manager at a famous restaurant in Manhattan, I’ve had the opportunity to travel a bit and experience pretty cool moments in life  but I’ve always felt like I miss so much time with my family due to my job.

My sister and brother in law bought the property for their family to live in for below market value Great deal.

@Nathan BillerIf all you are concerned with is tax reporting, you can likely give the accountant the following items and he should have a good start to preparing your tax return as it relates to your real estate investments1) year to date activity report generated by property management company2) 1098 from mortgage company detailing mortgage interest, real estate taxes paid for the year3) Insurance receipt4) call with the accountant on any other expenses paid, travel to and from the property, home office, etcNow if you want to have a monthly record of how your property is doing, you should take the monthly statement your PM is giving you and summarize it with the out of pocket expenses you pay for in some accounting software of excel.

Travel for business and don't currently use as a primary residence3.
