I've sent them money for a hotel and keep offering to pay for a hotel until the problem is fixed or they find another residence.

I couldn't find a hotel anywhere near that!)

@Dylan DomingueFirst things firstMost 22 unit motels are management intensive as the revenue is too small to afford a top manager or a hotel operator.

What was going to be Trump Tower downtown has a new Developer and another 30 story Tower with half Hotel and the rest million dollar Apartments.

I know condo-hotels (condotel) are not new but I am seeing more and more of them listed.

MultiFamily, Hotels, Conservation Easement, etc)?

@Timothy Burnes Don't do it. 10-20k in equity is not worth all those issues.Bed bugs are a significant defect that can take either $5000 and tenting the whole building for heat treatment, which requires vacating the tenants or getting them hotel rooms for a few nights, or a sustained program of prevention with bed risers, leg traps, sealed mattress bags, and the tenants need to keep it up for.. get ready for it.. 6 months, which is how long they can live without a meal.Sewage in the basement could be a big issue if you have a sewer backup problem.The sinking toilet sounds like it needs immediate attention, but at least that's a straightforward repair.The other issues are what I would consider "normal" as in, you could fix them but don't need to in order to make the place liveable.Based on the bed bugs alone I would avoid... if you are comfortable with this level of rehab you should be getting a way better deal. 

The duplex isn't the end goal, but a step closer to my 3rd and final red hotel in my overall monopoly game. 

I then pay:- $1k to local government for a hotel tax (transient occupancy tax in order to operate my rental)- $4k to federal government estimated income tax- $2k to state government estimated income taxDoes this mean I can a) deduct $7k from rental income as other expense in schedule E?

This is the same way that hotels handle non-cancellable rates.
