Not nearly enough for a gut job or to cherry it out.

The value of the hotel is based off of how well it's being operated.My advice would be to get a job in the hotel industry.

First day on the job?

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

But to put it in perspective I was only making $35,000 a year at my day job. 

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

So they work a full time job and go to school full time. 

There are occasional properties in the rural areas around here that I can get 95% LTV on, those areas don't appreciate as quickly but do have decent rental rates.

They would do a stellar job helping you navigate and landing hand managing :)

California offers great job markets and weather, but comes with high costs.
