Partnering with an experienced motel operator is a smart idea—it can help bridge the operational knowledge gap and mitigate risks.When evaluating motels, focus on metrics like occupancy rates, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR).

The issue with section 179 expense is that you normally have to operate at positive income.Under most circumstances, bonus depreciation is better since you can take bonus depreciation even if you operate at negative income. 

By the most important thing (if that's what you're doing) is to have a really good operator who knows the laws, has experience and is above board so they won't leave you high and dry.
