I plan on putting tenants in immediately as I live in my travel trailer.

I would love to figure out how to make it work for some of the clients I sell investment property to that plan to self manage but need a back up plan when they travel for a month or two at a time.

I travel a lot and it helps me to educate myself on specific topics while in the car or plane. 

Figuring out ways to not only hack credit cards for travel, cash back and credit scores.

In Fact,   my travel expense in 2018 was 90k  -- all of which would go away with a Vegas  property. 

Her sister passed away, which delayed the start of the project, then her job moved her to Asia, so she decided to sell it to me instead.

One duplex I got for $200K in 1993 is now $1.2 million.With the exception of auction condos in MA, which my sister managed for me, I self manage the ones in NYC, all within 20 to 40 minutes.

Note: If you go to the same meeting each month, you can do detail tracking for a month, and can use same detail to estimate expense for rest of the year.( If nothing changed)2) Meals when traveling away from home - 50% is deductible unless the meal is provided to the general public (like Open houses) than it is 100% deductible.

Should I be traveling constantly?

I'm planning to buy a house at the end of the year and I'm a co-signer on my sister's mortgage.
