What's really interesting is to see some of them being redeveloped into housing for seniors.Also shopping patterns have changed with work flexibility, so many of these malls don't need as big of parking lots that they once did when people could only shop after work or on weekends.

Some hotels actually have a condo like structure, where people can own the units, but perhaps are limited on their personal use to only a certain amount of the year - the rest of the year it is in the rental pool managed by the hotel.If numerous room owners stopped paying their bills, you could get tax liens on numerous separately owned units.Hotels are a tough business, an issue I also see come up with them often is that they require refreshes, expensive and relatively often - at least once every 10 years, if not more often.
