Write offs for house hunting travel expenses

[Toni Conway]

I’m looking to travel out of state to start looking at other markets for investing. How can I be creative with this activity so I can to write off the expenses as travel for business?

For example, do I need to have pre-established appointments before the travel is booked in order for it to be related to my real estate business?

Any lessons learned, recommendations or things to be aware of would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
