business mileage for rental real estate business?

Hi All.  Seeing differing online opinions on this question.  I have a regular W2 job.  I also own rental real estate as a side business in Schedule E, not employed by that business though.  I have a qualifying home office for the rental real estate business.  Can I deduct all vehicle miles to AND FROM the property locations from my home office as the business owner, or am I limited in my deduction from my home office TO the properties, BUT NOT BACK as they may be considered secondary job locations?  Thanks in advance!

If you qualify for having a home office which is a space only used for business activity, you can deduct all mileage trips. Keep a contemporaneous log.
