Not low-hanging fruit by any means, but I do 1-3 of these small commercial deals per year.

Why put all your eggs in one basket?

As long as this company is fully responsible for their guests, maintenance, turnover costs, etc. it can be fruitful.

If they don’t then there is no way I would lend to them because they have already proven by their fruit on the tree that they don’t know how to manage money, otherwise they should have some.

Other times though the amount of time and effort, and money just doesn't make it seem worth while.There's something to be said for niche markets, the smaller the niche the less competition.OTOH low hanging fruit is ever so tempting.

But the main reason is I found another investment (renting log cabins out on Airbnb) that is SOOO much more profitable and less headache / worry so I put all my eggs in that basket.  

Your insurer will explore that too.Attorneys who do this type of "letter writing" are only after the low-hanging fruit - your insurance payout.
