I sold an investment property that needed a lot of cleaning up. Can I deduct dump fees and mileage for all the trips I made to the dump? It wasn't a residence I lived in.

No, since this was a second home and not an investment property, this would be a personal expense and is not tax deductible.

I believe this home would qualify as an investment property. It was acquired with the sole purpose of cleaning it up and selling it.
