For example, we have a three-part project (marina, hotel, and a small number of townhouses) in the works on about 6 acres.

The ups and downs and the stages of each cycle are heavily followed in the commercial space (every big commercial brokerage has a PowerPoint slide in each of their decks about the stage of strip malls, apartments, office, hotel, etc.)Trying to time a market is crazy - but that is not what most people mean when they say they want to "time a market."

We do bid out of town work, but once you throw per-diem and hotel stays on a bid I am generally out of it.   

Sure it's a couple hundred bucks in flights/hotel, but that's nothing when you're looking to save hundreds of thousands by investing in a less expensive market.

Even the best of the best teams, PM, operators, hotels, trailer parks - have this occurrence in some capacity or another.

and my options were to pay for my own hotel or deal with it.  

@Amy A. those curved "hotel type" shower curtain rods really make a standard tub/shower feel bigger.

If this result is true, the Rich Dad started out poor and became rich as an entrepreneurial investor in hotels.

Me I like to hike for a day and then go back to the hotel for a nice steak and the hot tub.

@Jon Crosby as a consumer- I LOVE STR homes rather than staying into a hotel.
