I travel for work a lot sometimes.

When I was buying properties I was traveling with my job to a location that I couldn't even have a cell phone at, and minimal internet access, and I did fine.

I'll be traveling for work (wound care training for nursing).

Building a Real Estate portfolio is hard when traveling.

was travelling in Canada past few weeks.

., is that I'm competing with Craigslist Hacks that have no continuing education, that have no licenses, that have no insurance, that don't have a trailer full of tools, and are working for $15 per hour.

She is current on her payments so far, but really wants to get rid of it, doesn't want to be a landlord.The house is in a decent area, but backs to a trailer park.However, what she owes on the mortgage is just over by 5-10K what the house's market value is right now (didn't do an in-depth analysis, just from what I could find from comparable sales online), so I don't see any real investment opportunity here?

I think its a solid plan for him since he travels between here and Bulgaria and believes there is a good recovering market there.

This way I could set up a home office in my primary and deduct business expenses like home office and utilities involved in running it and travel expenses to and from investment property etc. and I assume after depreciation and other expense deductions I would show a loss on paper for the investment property and not pay tax on my rental income.My goal is very modest, in 15 years to have 20k/year in cashflow coming in and a million dollars networth.

Then, I guess she has a friend who is selling her a trailer house for $15k in Colorado so she wants to buy that, which is why she seems firm on the $18k.
