Proof for travel deduction

[Troy B.]

I'm a new landlord and live about 30 miles from my property. I have read that I can deduct travel expenses for property management but how do I prove the deduction? Is there mileage book keeping I would need to do or what other ways could you proved proof?

In my audits, I've never been questioned on the travel or mileage. Keep good records and take all the gray areas as possible. My accountant told me I can call an orange a tangerine and argue it. If I try to call the orange a watermelon, I'll get hassled... Rich
