Quote from @Tanner King: Where are the best places or best ways to collect data on specific markets?

However, I don’t have experience with motels, and I know they come with unique operational and financial considerations.

If you can come up with specifics such as how you do your lead gen, an overview of your current pipeline and the reason why your deals are falling through it would be much easier to help out. 

Kudos to you all for taking the time to address the main considerations (timelines, finances, relationships/family planning, etc) before getting too far down the path. 

If there's any specific concerns I could address I would be happy to. 

In addition, modest increases that take cost of living and other indicators into consideration is a reasonable way to assure longevity among tenants.  

3) Any specific states you recommend to set up any of these (Not sure where I'll be purchasing property yet, maybe Detroit, maybe Cleavland, maybe Augusta, maybe Des Moines, maybe Saint Cloud, maybe Memphis...)4) I already have a LLC based in Hong Kong (We call them limited companies, but the principle is the same).

@Destiney E Goins please ask more specific questions that we can actually answer!

3) What specifically do you mean about needing cashflow proceeds in 2 years?

I know that's vague but it's hard to be more specific on questions like this.
