Hey @Cam Bandstra.

Nothing about sex comes up, and you dont like his answer to another mans question and it's misogynistic?

There must be a lot of money in the business because I am always amazed about how much money he spend on the motel and he tore down a separate house he lived in on the property and build a mansion.As for someone investing who has no experience, I think someone who invests in a hotel or motel should understand that it is a 24-hour business that requires 100% around-the-clock employees willing to work during every major holiday even during the worst weather conditions, storms, or through whatever crises and current events are happening.The business requires several different shifts of workers for the front desk, several shifts of room-cleaning workers since many hotels and motels have guests coming and going 24/7 and they want to re-rent rooms asap, constant room maintenance for plumbing, heating and cooling and the guests come in all shapes and sizes with all sorts of inherent problems when it comes to the things they do both on the property, in the rooms, on the bed linens and then add the dealing with drug addicts, potential prostitution, potential sex-trafficking, potential sexual abuse in general and abuse of a minor, damage to the property, out-of-control parties, lovers having fights on the property and in the rooms, damage and theft to the linens, damage to bedspreads, and damage to the flooring.Since I am a plumbing contractor, many motels and hotels call my company to remove drug addicts' heroin needles stuck in toilet bowls.Before making an investment into a hotel or motel an investor needs to take a serious long amount of time to look at the books to see whether or not business in the area is declining, but since the hotel and motel business is one of the greatest   cash businesses' in this country you can bet that many sellers will make you well-aware that the 'real' income cannot be verified.I did a lot of research for the past 20+ years, looked at more than 100 hotels and motels for sale and declined to purchase most of them due to the decline in sales in most areas they were located in.

@Cam Chan I use Cozy and have been relatively happy.

I got all the tools that I can think of to make this a successful venture: I got the smart locks, keypad, door bell cam, outdoor cam, noise sensor, PMS, Dynamic Pricing tool, scheduling app for cleaners, smart thermostat, etc.

Hey Curt, I have done some research on this area in the past, Check this link http://www.city-data.com/city/Sanford-North-Caroli...There where many reason why are group did not enter this area, here is one.According to our research of North Carolina and other state lists there were 86 registered sex offenders living in Sanford, North Carolina as of August 05, 2014.The ratio of number of residents in Sanford to the number of sex offenders is 338 to 1.

It gives me a criminal, eviction, credit, and I believe sex offender check. 

I considered cellular cams but we need about 3 cameras for good coverage which would make the cost high. 

BEFORE the first wire is pulled so loads cam be balanced and pathways identified. 

It is entirely possible that every other day the police would be at a house providing a new "warning" to the "renter", whereas in a typical rental situation that renter can be held to any other standard as a resident of the community.Your desire to make money from a neighborhood house that was never designed for commercial activity should not trump my right for peaceful enjoyment of my property, which includes the right to be part of a neighborhood, interact with my neighbors and have some idea who is living around here - that is one of the reasons for the "sex predator" registries, for example - so that people who live in residential areas have some idea who their neighbors are.
