I left my former industry of 10 years as a Business Development Manager for Luxury Brand Hotels in an effort to pursue my dreams of obtaining generational wealth.

People will just as soon book a hotel if they have to pay all those additional charges.

Hope everyone is well. I have an opportunity to purchase a condo which is on a resort. I have been there with my family 3-4 times and it is absolutely beautiful. Golf course, indoor pool, etc. Has anyone ever bought a...

@Lucas Carl and I have had our eye on a boutique hotel in Gatlinburg to add to our portfolio.  

Somewhere along the line someone's going to have accomplished their goals and retire, decide they're sick of one-off deals and start doing apartment complexes or entire portfolios of retiring REI, get divorced, be sick of making payments and stop expanding while they pay the mortgages off (another great way to bump cashflow without taking on additional tenants that you have to babysit), get fed up with residential loans and start using commercial, get into syndication, decide to diversify and put more in Wall Street, buy furnished rental units in Baja, California, start doing hotels and reality TV and the like and eventually become elected President of the United States, etc etc.

In the case of the remote set/auto-revoke locks, there is no change that guest can enter the property again with the code I provided them while someone else is staying there.To me I'd be pretty annoyed if the hotel I was staying at told me any guest that stayed in my room over the last few months and kept their key could access my hotel room any time they liked. 

The rent has to be less than the rents that would be paid to the hotel because home and hotel has different rental valuation.

If you're looking to AirBNB, you could get a little more in rent to compete with the Hotel industry but it's likely not enough to offset the PITI + HOA fees.
