Population growth, strong job growth, multisector industry/economy (Never invest in an area propped up by a single industry, or worse, a single company), landlord and business friendly, strong development, strong sports teams (even minor and farm teams), lower crime rates than national average, and good schools/colleges nearby.

If you pre-plan it right and make 50% of it business related, you can write the trip off as a business trip. 

It depends on if your real property trade or business is being a professional investor.

Personally, I'm looking into starting a "newbie" consulting business and this would be an opportunity to work on structuring that, while getting valuable feedback from someone like yourself!

I wonder if streamlining the cleaning cost into the ADR ("eliminating" another extra fee) encourages greater business (especially if positive reviews note place is clean, etc.) even if the market has shown it will bear the cleaning cost (and it's routine).Scenario 1: Guest pays $400 per night for 2 nights plus $300 cleaning fee.

Remember, a palpable business strategy for insurance carriers is denying claims. 

I don't really plan to use my license to sell to the public as I already have a full time job and our investment business will take up the remainder of our time. 

From a legal perspective, it seems to be commingling a bit, but I guess it's technically a loan to the business.2) If that's not a viable option, then I was considering a business LOC. 

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.
