Tenant went to parents and implied I should get them a hotel..

I guess if they get someone to bite they have a hotel room with very low capital investment, just furniture and security.

You know that you have water infiltration into the walls, but you don't want to tear out what is there because you don't want to put up your tenants in a hotel?

AirBnB tends to attract folks looking for something bigger and/or more amenities than a hotel. 

While Most of the hotels/motels were around 300-400 a night for a standard room, I got the shipping container for $105/night which I think was a hell of a steal since it came with kayaks, snorkeling things, etc.

Now that we got the disclaimer out of the way, if you find a small hotel (less than 25 room) hit me up!

Many of them have "no hoteling" clauses that would prevent you from doing this.

Annual gross around $4800-$5000 annual (about 3% annum return)- appreciation in the hotel condo unit was probably around 3-6%.

Funny, since buying rental houses, I've found myself eyeing hotel bathrooms extra-carefully.

I was also thinking if i could do it like the hotels take credit card info for a deposit  no background check.
