The motel is on Afton Mountain, the convergence of multiple hiking trails and tourist attractions.

A 3/2 will attract families and schools do matter to them.

Free or low cost lead gen is preferable, but I think it's best to focus on marketing rather than prospecting.Marketing is passive and about attracting people to you because of your value.

This was very attractive to me because it's a very old property (1914), in good shape but with deferred maintenance, a past electrical fire, and some other issues that are relatively minor.I had stated I could offer an owner carry. 

The cheaper properties while attractive are more difficult to finance. 

But he doesn't want to pay taxes on the sale....so seller financing might be attractive.

Great deals always attract cash buyers!

This attracts a completely different class of tenant/guest/renter.The lender's view may or may not be different. but it should not.

It is in driving distance to major attractions in Florida (2 hours to Miami and 2 hours to Orlando), and is a safe city with housing that is still affordable.

I just moved out of a home that I was house hacking and the rent by room strategy seems attractive because it can produce higher cash flow every month.
