Small motel and bed-and-breakfast operators complain that the business model endangers their survival.""

Until then, I have a stable job with a monthly income of 3,000 USD that can help me survive and pay the bills in these next 4 years.What are your thoughts?

unless Denver allows some ridiculous long term lease that will bind them, but I doubt it will survive a sale

You can typically get a free initial consultation with an attorney to ask such questions about responsibilities and the like.I know this example is unrelated, but it sounds like when creditors come after surviving family members of a deceased person demanding that they are responsible for their debt.

Truly sad Indeed - a lesson in what people will do to survive any way they can.

Before you even start investing:Do you have an emergency fund minimum 3 months, preferably 6 such that if the wheels came off everything you could survive?  

(When a crash occurs, good agents will survive it and the mediocre ones won't.)There's seriously very little marketing an agent will do for your property.

If someone could really cover all of their expenses/advertising/dues/fees/driving around for 2% and still make enough profit to survive wouldn't it make sense that someone would step into the market and undercut?

I survived.

This is not a business that can survive with trial by fire and should require landlord licencing to prevent these situations.
