I mean, do I need to put them up in a hotel or something?

Because local hotels and bed and breakfast businesses are doing very well I decided to build a 10 suite B and B.

In my experience people who concentrate on the "write offs" have never been in business for themselves.I used to look at my $400 month phone bill, $700/month hotel, 50,000 miles a year on a car (killer of profit for people who think the "write off" is a good idea), and worry a lot more about reducing the expenses than about the tax write off.I'd rather have the income and pay the taxes.Again you're buying quarters for a dollar apiece, terrible purchase!

If their apartment burn down, they will be given hotels to stay at, no need to go over someone else section 8 to shelter.I know this because this happened before in my section, one apartment get burn because of Christmas lights, and the family get to go live in hotel for free.And how do you know it 1-2 weeks?

@Devon Garbus Are you taking hotel money or strip mall money it makes a big difference?

That puts the kibosh on B&B's, Hotels, Motels, etc, doesn't it?

Confront tenant on the lease that their 'visitor' has been here longer than 14 days as agreed.Then hand her the application and teller that the visitor must submit this if he is going to stay.Once you have the info, then require that he too sign the lease if he expects to stay (vetting is optional, as you're after the personal data).Your 25% increase is questionable IMO as we rent units, not beds as in a hotel.

I might think about building a small Hotel in Goa.

On the weekends the hotels are often sold out.

Now the hotels/motels have one less legitimate complaint about STRs.
