For me, I specialize in data-driven design.

When it was all said and done, our bad tenant cost us over $30k.The financial hit was certainly tough, but there was also the feeling that we had no control over the situation.

Some hotels actually have a condo like structure, where people can own the units, but perhaps are limited on their personal use to only a certain amount of the year - the rest of the year it is in the rental pool managed by the hotel.If numerous room owners stopped paying their bills, you could get tax liens on numerous separately owned units.Hotels are a tough business, an issue I also see come up with them often is that they require refreshes, expensive and relatively often - at least once every 10 years, if not more often. 

MTR is tough to gauge and is definitely depending on location.
