@Bruce Lynn Thanks for this response. 

Response for Sara Salinaro: Hi Sara, I love the ambition—starting with a clear long-term goal like large-scale hotels is how you make big things happen!

This deal taught me the importance of overestimating rehab costs and always having a solid team of professionals on How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Especially since I have a solid track record in general for having a good sense of people. 

(see the numbers I wrote in my other response above this one).I am using actual comps that my realtor sent me.

But if you're willing to take a tiny leap of faith, I think the returns are solid, the diligence and the integrity are there, and the states/markets/submarkets and the asset class are thumbs-up.

And the reason why your "tale of two halves" will play out as you described.Demand:  This has actually been high almost all along, but rent growth hasn't materialized in response due to high levels of new supply. 

Quote from @Matthew Steele: Thank you I appreciate all your responses, yea I'm kinda leaning towards telling her he can't stay and telling her I'm not renewing her M2M lease, unfortunately in Nys if the tenant has lived there for 2+years they get 90 days notice, does this sound feasible?

In that case you do bear the responsibility when said supplier turns out to be a fraud dont you think?

In summary, a LAIC is someone who can take responsibility for a rental property in the same way an owner would.
