The Mileage Log
As a rental property investor, you can typically claim mileage deductions for your local travel to manage or maintain your properties. REI Hub helps you manage and claim this valuable deduction with the Mileage Log.
If you track mileage outside of the REI Hub system but still want to enter it for consolidated end of year reports, you can make a summary entry into REI Hub. However if you do this, make sure to maintain the trip by trip records from your mileage tracking system in case you are ever required to present them to the IRS.
