I wanted to know your input on this strategy, I've done a couple of small projects, dealt with tenants etc. and also have a w2 job which I want to quit and do this full time.Instead of purchasing one big hotel, I want to purchase small duplexes, triplex and fourplexes and airbnb them (it's allowed in my area).
