If you're not looking for a global or national chain, but instead looking for a boutique or mom-and-pop hotel or motel or bed-and-breakfast, just visit the areas you'd like to buy in and ask folks if they'd like to sell.Put @Scott P in a reply so that I should get an automatic notification if you'd like more thoughts.Good luck!

Another thing to look at though would be the Toronto area and Vancouver area on a global scale in terms and livability are 2 of the top cities and there housing prices are well below other top cities like New York.

Not long ago, there was no such thing as dscr loans, rates were only moderately suppressed at times, and much real estate was undervalued-(affordability-wise) still equalizing from the downturn, oh, and we didn't have a global situation which caused widespread disruption and general concern.

See how the economy shook up globally. 

High Point has been working on many projects here lately, and I will list some of them now; Volvo is working on completing a $41 Million investment in it's Global Headquarters- retaining 360 jobs, EcoLabs with a massive $93 Million investment, that will retain 125 jobs and 20 new ones.

... and by 89% in comparison to rents.Australia and Canada share the dubious prestige of having housing prices the most out of alignment with the rest of their economies.The Economist, "Global Housing Markets: Property Puzzles"CBC, Canadian Housing Prices 35% Over ValuedCBC, Analysis: Overvalued Home Prices Could Put New Owners at RiskThe only good news from the perspective of the Atlantic Provinces is we've been the anchor on Canada's housing price to family income ratio for the past decade - without our representation, the Economist would be reporting an even higher percentage of over valuation.  

I would also say that @Llewelyn Adal hits on some of the finer more nuanced points of investing in NYC real-estate; unlike many other markets, global investors look at NYC real estate as akin to a Treasury bill - a super safe place to park cash, low returns, but inflation-adjusted appreciation potential. 

Being global - we've chosen to work with eXp Realty, and have found it to be perfect for us and our lifestyle, with multiple income stream possibilities.

I will one day own rental properties in all 24 time zones of the world and create global passive income.
