I plan to establish this as my permanent residence and travel in the off season.

I rent weekly to traveling workers and get close to short term rates but they tend to stay for at least a few months at a time.

I've also had good luck with Traveler's Insurance.

I also travel a lot for my "day job" spending 19 weeks out of town for them plus the time spent working on my investments if that matters toward the "majority" of the year.

I don't really have a specific niche that I am looking into at the moment so any input or suggestions would be helpful (but I think most of this is just preference, something I have to continue to explore personally).Quick snippet about me, I have been working for a property tax appeal company for about 9 years(with the exception of the year I took off to move to Greenwich Village Manhattan and did some extensive traveling while one of my companies was thriving).

Think of the travel time, 88 roofs vs 1 or 3.

Hoping that the tenant doesn't get knocked out of the program due to higher income or bad habits and now can't afford your unit.

Recently I did what I used to call a day trip to that property and I'm now curious if it qualifies as "business travel" for tax purposes per the IRS "Topic No. 511 Business Travel Expenses":"You're traveling away from home if your duties require you to be away from the general area of your tax home for a period substantially longer than an ordinary day's work, and you need to get sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away."

This is an easy fix if they are electric appliancesIf the loan is not some kind of rehab loan, and is a conventional fannie/freddie backed loan they will want to see that the basic functions of the home are working and it is "habitable" in its current state.

Now, if you travel East of this zipcode toward Lee's Summit, neighborhoods get a lot nicer.
