    It is acctually a Motel/Hostel having 11 Motel units and a 60 bed hostel.
    The deal is financed at 6.5% for 30 years with a 2 point fee.
    The Lender loves the idea all I had to do was show him the 5 year projections. The key to this property is it was bought to be torn down to build condos in 2004. The plans to build the condos took 3 years to get approved by the local Gov. By that time no one wanted to invest in the condos as property values were droping. The Property was just running, No advertising, Deffered Repair status, and only operating from 9am – 9pm at night. The Motel Part runs great at 80% but the hostel runs at a low 21% rate occupency. The plan for the Hostel would be to go on 2 year marketing campaign to raise occupency. If that fails I will start closing down Hostel rooms and converting them over to Motel rooms. The current owner started to fix the property up and has it starting to raise in profits it currently grosses about 588,000 a year. Neting about 275,000 of that. But as I said before the area which the Motel is located is in PRIME tourist area.

    I Myself am actually in the process of buying a motel, I found it to be a buyers market for sure. The area I am looking to buy in has a huge tourism market that has risen because of the violence in Mexico, but the property values have dropped. I have secured 3 million in financing I'm just short 150k or so. But I don't plan on leasing the property out I plan on running it myself its in a great location, and has owners residence on premise as well as mangers quarters. Id like to have a  partner if anyone is interested in investing.
