The government run healthcare system will be like every other government program, overpriced and impossible to access.We are already paying billions of dollars in California in medical expenses for released convicts (because we can't afford to keep them in prison and 40,000 were released), sexual predators, drug addicts, alcoholics, etc.

Lindsey Ambrose Hotel/ Motel Investment
30 November 2023 | 39 replies
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.
