An overview of your current marketing/ lend generation and any other operational practices.

Many of our clients have encountered resistance from financial advisors that do not operate outside of the standard stocks and mutual funds box.

OR a second idea, how about "rent-by-other-means" which I am of course referencing Contract For Deed sale, which is NOT a lease and therefor exempt from rent controls, yet can be written in such a way that operates all but identical to one, I'd argue even better because I can write what ever my heart desires into the terms.

@Dylan DomingueFirst things firstMost 22 unit motels are management intensive as the revenue is too small to afford a top manager or a hotel operator.

That probably doesn't include bad operators, people who paid way too much right before the crash, etc.  

Side Question:I don't want to complicate my primary question with any more variables, but as a secondary, ceteris paribus question.... if the owner lives part time in the STR how does one write off expenses not directly related to STR operation, such as insurance and utilities? 

I have 8+ years in the IT Enterprise sales, customer success and program management areas.

Curious about this strategy.I have a larger wholesale & flipping operation in Texas.
