You will need to find partners, you will need to travel to where you wish to invest, you will need to understand the ins and outs of the business by being actively involved and treating it like a business and not some super passive investment.If you don't want to do that work I suggest you just put that 200k into some sort of diversified mutual fund that can make you 10+% on your money without any of the work of real estate.At the end of the day this is just my advice and I'm only a stranger on the internet.

People are busy with the holidays, and very few are focused on moving. 22 days isn't ideal, but it's not bad for this time of year.

Cost of doing business.

Sometimes, mixing family and business can be difficult, but I am happy you all are thriving.

This is a very valid business model and costs are low.  

@Jeremy H.there is no need to self manage for the passive investor looking for a fixed NNN return in the 15%+ range.Smart business owners and retirees looking to diversify their investment portfolio are not looking to run a hospitality business. 

Now reality.. unless your using funds from a super successful business.. most most starting out are not sitting on piles of cash or have family offices.. so debt is the only way to get in the game.Also short term debt were your in and out can work.. but it also can bite you in the butt.. look at all the builders that went down in the crash.

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

Thats how you run your business , not me
