I'll use this information to review properties and learn the area until finances and the right property are aligned.

I have found quite a few opportunities near there, just not on the MLS. be sure that you're working with someone that aligns with your investment strategy and your goals.

The reason I love partnerships is because everyone's goals are aligned: we all want to sell/rent a property for the most money and find ways to reduce expenses where possible, and I want to partner with people that I lack expertise in.You hear all the horror stories of terrible contractors that runs off with the money, does terrible work because they don't care, etc.

I'm doing the best I can to change my mindset, my habits, my learning patterns, life patterns; you name it I'm changing it to align with WEALTH.I currently work a menial job as a server to pay the bills and put a roof over my head, but my focus is a lifelong goal of success and having my money work for me.

I am currently in the tri-cities area in eastern WA, but It looks like I will be relocating to northern DFW, TX for my wife's job in the near future.I had begun looking at using real estate as a career a few months ago, as this aligns with my personality, passions, and goals.

SO I am assuming they are not involved and now that they are wanting to sell, the price they want and the actual value of the property is not likely to align.

It is possible, but the stars have to be aligned correctly.  

Age of the buildingCompetitive new supply - Quality Inn tends to be on the lower end of the market so you'll probably benefit from a rising tide, but older properties are severely impacted by new economy scale or midscale supply enters the marketNOI margin should be >30% - if it's not, your RevPAR is too low or operations are unnecessarily fatIt may be of benefit to align with a third-party operator that has some "skin-in-the-game," where you step into a joint venture limited partner role with major decision rightsThis is a very high-level list that doesn't account for location, seasonality, and other factors that may have a material impact on performance.

And define your asset class and investing style in alignment with your interests and abilities.

I'm sure they are out there but of course like anything the vision and abilities have to align very very nicely....
