Hotels and luxury high rises are already going up few streets away.

My first one i was in a basement type setting i thought i was going to be in a fancy hotel before i got there the guy i was in contact with misguided me the directions so i was already off to a bad start, then i told him what i wanted to get into and i said wholesaling and flipping but this event all they spoke about was a lot of the legal stuff and how to get loans and use other peoples money no money no credit never explained much else, so i didn't really find anything out of that.

AirBNB obviously incurs the utilities (including internet...maybe cable/security), property management, and hotel/local taxes that I'm still trying to educate myself on...not to mention the upfront/semi-ongoing furnishing.

I almost always have more of those kinds of people in all my houses every week than any other individual motel/hotel in this town does. 

My group has done this with hotels.

She replied that she just been the deposit money on a hotel so she can’t afford it now.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 'travel expense' write-off from the business, ultimately treating my unit as a rent/travel expense/hotel which is why I was getting confused.

I had been focusing on long term rentals but ran a hotel for 5 years and thought I might enjoy short term rentals more.

You could do a short term rental and start collecting that per diem as opposed to people staying in hotels.

Buy or refund with receipts the roach bait hotels.
