Seems like it could be an interesting business.
Anyone ever looked into that? If so.. what kind of stuff did they come up with? |

Some of the roadside motels.. particularly the ones along major highways going coast-to-coast look appealing. The prices aren't much more than a family house in San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, New York, etc.
But instead of just owning a house, you'd actually have a house (granted in the middle of nowhere) with huge income abilities attached - a motel. |

I've thot about that myself. A lot of them look plenty dead though. It's surprising that more people wouldn't want to stay. If it's just along the highway somewhere in the middle of nowhere, I think it'd have to stay really cheap. You wouldn't be able to turn it into some kind of fancy bed and breakfast. People that stop in the middle of nowhere just want to spend the night (cheaply) and get the hell out of there first thing in the morning. What else is there to do in the middle of nowhere?
But, I've thot about it also. |

To me.. seems like if someone becomes married with kids.. then being out in the middle of nowhere would be alright.
You just hang around the motel.. watch cable tv.. go to a diner here and there.. rent movies.. whatever.. kind of like semi-retirement.
Sure beats having wife and kids and driving all over a large city communiting and spending it at some faraway workplace day in and day out.
For young and single, definetely city-living is preferable to owning some motel out in the middle of nowhere though. |
