Just file legit travel expenses and record them in Schedule E along w everything else.

But in any case - b e professional, dont give them any nonsense about how you want to solve their problems - just say hey I understand your property at xyz may be coming on the market and I would love to discuss as it is exactly what I am looking for for my family (blah blah blah)   I get calls like this all the time so just be professional - maybe he will give you his agents name so you can contact the agent?   

I created a template through an e-sign platform (Docusign and Hellosign both work), and the link is still automatically when each reservation is booked so it's a seamless experience for the guest and my customer support staff.

You don't necessarily have to go the YouTube route, but I would definitely get into affiliate marketing and e-commerce space.

CCR if that is an issue these have to be produced by a title search and if its like many East coast states that takes time.. its not like our WEst coast title plants that can get anything that is recorded in a matter of hours e mailed to you..  

I'm trying to secure financing with a bank that can work with only P&L without Sche-E.

They couldn't' even fathom today's e- commerce landscape. 

Allows for e-checks and credit cards.

When I used to buy at foreclosure auctions, I would contact the customer service desk at my title company (you access this by having a title rep grant you access; I understand that this is not available in all parts of the country.)Another option is to purchase an O&E report for $90-$100.

I can connect you with an awesome realtor on the E side who can help.
