Travel to the property is grey area.I do recommend you deduct these expenses in 2017 even if small.

For Maria to travel from Texas to Philly is already creating stress for her not to mention the mixed emotions that she must going through.Research the file again to make sure Debby and Ben have no heir's.

Perhaps you have to move for a career, travel, have a few years where you do not have time to manage the properties.  

I am also thinking I probably don't want to have to travel more than an hour or so from Orem to keep the house not a super pain to go work on.

Sure, it may be cheaper to travel by greyhound from LA to New York (if there were no time constraints).

I'm in the opposite situation right now in that I have some available capital but because of a heavy work travel schedule I have almost zero time to find a deal or manage any type of rehab project.I'll send you a private message.

Smoking inside the premise is strictly prohibited.

Rarely will a company do all 3. 1) Boardup companies: As the name suggests, these companies only do boardups.   2) Restoration companies: They're involved in the demo, drying, smoke sealing & clean-outs of all the debris from the incident. 3) Rebuild/Rehab companies.

This may sound stupid, but I once travelled to U.S. and pretended to meet with the CPA on a day that I did not know it was Labor Day (yes, you can laugh).

We have a decent amount of HQ overhead (operations manager, transaction coordinators, admin assistants, office rent, travel expenses, etc), plus each market/field has another $20k or so of monthly overhead -- sales, project manager, superintendent, admin, office costs, etc.The three options we have come up with are:1. each employee keeps time on the amount of time spent on each house and we bill this to each house, like a law firm would work (this is hard and time consuming)2. we pass through all of the overhead to the fund directly, like the fund is investing in a company.
