I could often buy a bike worth say $2000 for maybe $1000 because it needed new piston/rings etc.

@Michael Baum I have Ring floodlight cameras, I hardwire them wherever the exterior light by the front door is.  

Most of the STR investors I know and work with use the Ring doorbell and floodlight cams on the exterior.

When she left, said to me "I'll be back".Had I had ring installed back then, I wouldn't have bothered to answer the door despite the incessant rings as she didn't look right.Then I have kids forever forgetting to lock the front gate in front of the front door, persons unknown trying unlocked doors don't ring the doorbell, came barging into my house, when I confront them, says "sorry, guess I'm in the wrong house".

The biggest thing with a hotel is location, competition within a certain mile ring radius, and if recently re-imaged and updated as that can be a whopper of an expense.

Sent you a DM - would be great to throw my hat in the ring for you to interview for listing agents.

Big responsibility caring for "Critters".It's a business usually done by "Horse loving people" who ride and know the lingo and go to shows etc...It's not like a used car lot where you can open some cut rate thing -- horses require care around the clock sometimes.Hay, straw, carrots, apples, stall cleaning, hoof cleaning, vet visits, farrier visits, lunging, etc..I'm not saying you should not do it, I'm saying it's not rental real estate--it's it's own business (that you may have to put a lot of time into.And Maryland I assume Hunter/Jumpers, are you familiar with that lingo--and painting the lunging rings, and etc...for many it's a labor of love, and if that's you're competitors--ouch...I love horse, but caring for them is a LOT of work.So what I'm saying is this is NOT rental real estate, and THINK before you leap.Just my 2 cents.Hunter Jumper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Fake cameras are one option, or you can use the Ring Jobsite Security System that they sell through Home Depot.I assume you're doing a Lead Free Reno since this is a full gut anyway?

Next, Toilet rings was leaking and PM promptly fixed the issue5.

Wholesalers are basically running a three ring circus until closing day.
