This is a more advance tenant placement tactics people who lack the experience or with an innocent mind can't read others properly should do more often before they relying on their read. 

I don’t want my lack of experience with motels to stand in the way of making this opportunity a success.I’m primarily looking to connect with investors or operators who have experience with motels to learn more about this asset type.

Taxes are reasonable (in most areas), and there is a significant lack of quality affordable housing.  

The main issue is a consistent lack of effective management and oversight.

Meaning truly intrinsic(2x DSCR not 1x DSCR), then roll the dice and lever the minimum you need to get the deal done and understand to put more to reserves than anything else for the first 3-5 years from your current and new property.The risk:reward ratio is very low when you factor in a lack of liquidity.

While it appears many rookie investors tend to struggle to hit the ground running due to lack of capital / financing, I have the opposite problem.

Box sills, windows, doors, outlets, switches, lack of house wrap under siding etc.. 

Quite prudent to stay away from such lack of quality in regards to REI agents.

I'm not saying all wholesalers are bad apples, but I have seen way too many vulnerable homeowners be taken advantage of for this not to a problem.

I looked at local companies, and while many locals have great boots on the ground, they lack the economies of scale and systems like what Avantstay uses to attract, vet, monitor, and enforce.
