Just the opposite actually. I avoid the franchise tag. I usually stick to places over 20 rooms and less than 80. I usually buy in smaller cities/towns(less than 50,000 people) and the fewer hotels the better. Less competition of course always help ensure the business will do well.

Example would be one I just did in Hutchinson KS. It was in bad shape. I paid 72,000 for the 42 room motel. 2 months later and 80,000 it is fully renovated, and doing very well. I have about 150,000 in it and IMO would sell for about 325,000 anytime I want to move it.

If you choose the right places, it can be very profitable.

Need to buy 1 in Panama City. Lots of business for about half of the year. Places around here rent a room for about 2-3 grand a week per room

Ok LebVol, here is my last pitch:

Once you buy the Norman OK hotel,
VolNation will storm in on Thursday and paint the hotel exterior a very tasteful Tennessee Orange and White.

After the huge blowout win by the Vols, it will be...Legen (wait for it) Dary!

Monday, you report a strange case of vandalism to the insurance company, get the hotel repainted a more appropriate color scheme for the sooners. Then advertise that "I would Sooner stay here for game weekends ..."


Now for the kicker: Next, you buy a string of hotels in each SEC team's city and we make this a VolNation tradition!
Only problem is that as the legend grows, you will need bigger hotels :)

It could work. Well, until about the 3rd or 4th time I am contacting the insurance company about the strange "paint job vandals" who seem to be following me around the southeast.

There are lots of insurance companies...
Alternate domestic with international and it will take longer for the pattern to emerge.

Years before they all put it together... Would be a glorious adventure. Not fraud either, if you have nothing to do with it... :)

Better delete this convo then so there is no evidence of such prior knowledge...:)

#1 on UT's DT Recruiting Board. Also, VQ makes it very obvious he will be a Vol on NSD.

Kahlil McKenzie DT, 6-4/309, Concord, Calif.

McKenzie may be the most wanted target by Tennessee fans not only because he's a legacy, but because he's an extremely talented player at the biggest position of need. McKenzie walked away from his Tennessee visit high on the Vols and they currently lead for the son of former Vol Reggie McKenzie.

Pac 12 schools Arizona and USC are right behind the Vols and can't be discounted, but with all the ties McKenzie has to Tennessee it's going to be hard to beat out the Vols. Right now, McKenzie says he will take all of his official visits and decide on signing day.

Defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie (6'4/330) of De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif. was recently named the No. 1 prospect in the West in a particularly strong Class of 2015. McKenzie played the 2013 season for one of the most storied and successful programs in the country in De La Salle, and he led them to a No. 6 final ranking in the Scout Top 50 last year.

Watching McKenzie on the field, it's easy to see why he was elevated to the No. 1 position in the West after a strong senior season and continuing his good work on the camp circuit this spring. When trying to find the area of his game that needs the most work, it's hard to come up with one. In all of the major categories that are used to judge an interior line prospect, McKenzie is a plus. Rather than say what he needs to improve, let's just say if he continues doing what he does well, he's going to be playing football for a very, very long time.

McKenzie checked in at the Nike Camp in Oakland at 6'4 and 330 pounds, up a few pound from his senior season, but it didn't stop him from dominating the camp that is based on quickness since there are no pads.

On the field, where it counts, McKenzie is absolutely dominant in so many ways. He's flexible, so he gets and stays low coming out of his stance. He has tremendously quick hands, which allows him to establish the advantage over his blocker right away by pushing him back on his heels. He's strong as an ox, capable of taking on two blockers and moving them backwards. What separates good from elite is his change of direction, agility and balance. There are big, strong guys all over the country, but few of them can burst into the backfield, make a 90 degree turn and chase down a quarterback or running back. Watching move laterally is astonishing. He takes angles across the line of scrimmage when chasing a play going away from him like a linebacker.

McKenzie is currently the No. 1 prospect in the West. He's a 5-Star defensive tackle prospect, and he's under heavy consideration for the No. 1 overall position in the Scout 300. I've stated several times this year that I haven't seen a true No. 1 in the Class of 2015 yet, but Kahlil McKenzie certainly has the look of the No. 1 prospect in the country, not just the West. The next major shakeup at the top of the Scout 300 will come after The Opening in July, and we'll be keeping a very close eye on McKenzie and the rest of the nation's best.
