I'm thinking of opening a dealership. Right now I'm "Keith" working for a "mom and pop" uhaul dealership. We're pretty big actually. I work PT (Friday, Sat and Sun)and the owner works most days. He told me there's no real start up cost and since I'm 67, retired, and a single female, I'm thinking it's a great little side gig. I need to find a cheap enough and big enough lot with an office and I'm looking for that now here in West Texas. Colorado City doesn't have a Uhaul Dealership so I'm looking there. I only hope that little town is a good location. Wish me luck I can pull it off! Thanks again for your information.

Can you install this on a metal building?

I just started about 2 weeks ago as well. I plan to do 3 months.

Wow

Hi Paul Sir. Your video-making is very good. Your content ideas are very good. If you give me permission, I will share some information with you to increase the channel. You get lots of subscribe and views, best regards Thank you

It’s been awhile. Stopped by channel to catch up. Sorry to see the glass go. Great to see the U Haul franchise! And video gambling! Love the scrappy entrepreneural spirit! Take care.

hi paul i have a question for you. theoratically if there was a small motel 27 rooms in pennsylvania , run down old smelling motel, but made 400k gross revenue at 1.3 million asking would you buy it? my family toured it and it was run down, old furniture, looking at a decent renovation to bring it up to par but can be run without renovating it because the rooms are livable. old owner bought it in 2006 for 900k so he will max go down to 1.2 million. most of the business comes from local people and mostly a homeless contract with the town that homeless people live in it paid by the town. im just wondering if there are motels in better shape making similar money for less money because 1.2 million i think is pretty steep for a run down motel and its not even near an interstate. plz i need help

ELEPHANT- TAME IMPALA!!!!! (Most of their music has great bass lines but this one is special. There are some fancy riffs but only at the end of a phrase. The main bass line is super simple but it’s sooo catchy. Absolutely love this one) love the channel!!! Keep up the BEHS content! 🤘😝🤘

Paul I give it 2 weeks

Could I put it this in my detached 2 car garage

Vote Trump

I noticed that too, I think upper mid scale is the only market segment making money right now. They are the last to decline when the economy starts going down and the first to recover when it comes back up. In a few years once I sell my Quality Inn, I’m only going to be looking at the Marriott and Hilton brands.

What about buying a hotel but not running it as a hotel..

Where is hotel?

In quantity rooms booked or profitability?

Hope that no one was hurt

Is there a minimum unit requirement to get a flag from certain places? Like would Wyndham be willing to flag a smaller hotel with only 10-20 rooms?

I can see why having that kind of mentality can be good. But at the same time, failure can be a good thing. You learn more failure than you do success. Because it will teach you what not to do next time.

Why is your mouth linings and lips blue

Ouch!

One of the big wigs wanted your property….

What did the city do with your $60G?

That is very smart buddy

Keep doing what your doing buddy, proud to know you

You’re doing a wonderful job! I’ve stayed at that motel many times in the 80s.

Looks like the beginning or endings of the months are busiest.

Looks great!

Wow, my friend, you have done a fantastic job. If you need more doors or large mirrors, we still have some. Keep an eye out for a text, I just thought you may be able to help us out with something.

Thanks for sharing

How many trucks and trailers do you have reserved daily?

How did you get into hotel/motel business? I have great credit and a great amount of money saved to start. Just needing a mentor to get my foot into the door.

That looks sooooo nice!!! 🎉

A good idea but the only down side I can see for this particular business is the operations cost. Utilities bill for the business, gas for however you are delivering the clothes. Is it worth doing that kind of business? I mean I could be wrong but that is just my thoughts.

Here are my thoughts. Note that I have no personal experience with the hotel industry so take my opinions for what they're worth as a nerd who observes and reads. The dual branding I would look at finding complimentary brands where you would have say some with a kitchen and others being a mid-scale or better hotel room. If it's a dual between a discount chain and a mid-scale, I would think the midscale crowd would feel confused or uneasy about it being paired up with a discount chain. It's sort of like if you're looking for a luxury vehicle and you have a choice between a brand that is exclusively luxurious versus a brand that does offer a similar level of luxury but has a lot of cheaper versions, you see it as a cheaper version. This is part of marketing. Concerning your dilemma, here are the options that you have from my perspective: 1. Continue to rehab your hotel and let it climb slowly from Travelodge, to a more premium brand while making the improvements to live up to the brands image. To accomplish this is not going to be cheap as you are well aware And it's always going to need maintenance. All the money that you've invested in it in business classes they will tell you is a sunk cost. The question is how far are you away from getting this completed, how much is it going to cost from getting this completed, And how long can the life of the building be extended in a cost effective manner. If the finish line is just around the corner And if it's actually making a profit, then you might want to just continue the endurance assuming that it's not being held up with a ever failing foundation. Old buildings can be used for hotels and for luxurious hotels at that. Look at the renovations that Drury in has done in St Louis and other large cities with buildings that were never designed to be hotels. The kicker is they have massive amounts of money to be able to afford to do this, an established brand that commands a premium, and a lot of experience. 2. You decide to build a La Quinta inn. Timing would be very important I would assume on when to have it built. There are some sections of Kansas City that I think are kind of reviving themselves and I stayed in a comfort brand hotel in a section that's trying to revive itself. Just a couple streets over you could see where there had been some violent behavior and this hotel was in the midst of it being just opened. The challenge with this is if are a patron and you notice the community being potentially dangerous, If you're not young and self-assured you're going to be more reluctant about staying there. Same if you have a car that is commonly stolen whether because it's easy in the case of Hyundai kias or sought after by thieves in the case of Dodge challengers. It's kind of like the saying about having the nicest house in the subdivision is a challenge If you want to turn around and sell it. I would say if the Google thing is for sure it's all a matter of timeing it out correctly. I will also note that that hotel which was brand new wasn't exactly trouble-free from what I could see as the construction quality was lacking for the bathroom door would not shut as it would scrape against the door frame. So just bear that in mind though I'm sure they would have a lot less problems so long as the construction company didn't do shotty work. Whether you can build a La Quinta inn in addition to your current hotel or not can have different impacts on the outcome. The finances you would know more about than I would. A hotel of that scale is typically what is used for business travel. The business case of that makes sense depending on location on however many other hotels of that scale are available to serve the people that will be staying there. An interesting question to ask oneself is in the IT field what do IT people like to stay at? If a room is a room and all they care about is a specific rate La Quinta is probably a great choice. If IT people are more artsy They might want something that's different than just a standard boring hotel room that they can find anywhere. And having something different might be ideal. I figured that out you'd have to do your own market research. One way or another, I would offer at least an arcade game or two and whatever you choose to have there. 3. You tear down the existing hotel and replace it with a custom design of something nearly identical except for upgrades to help you reach a higher end clientele. The nostalgia of having the original building that was featured in a movie would be lost And all the money invested would be all for not. But with this, you could still have a hotel with a dome without the old building problems. You would have to figure out how to make the dome an attractive anchor for the clients of Google. The advantage of this is you could have larger rooms than the motel sized rooms that the holidomes had, You could offer different types of rooms to fit the features you think would be appealing and avoid the features you don't think would be appealing. If you go this route, I would strongly suggest if you haven't before stay in some of the Holiday inn models that were built pretty much from the ground up with this as opposed to being domed over motels. One that still appears exist is one in Bloomington Illinois, there's a rebranded one out in Quincy Illinois, and to some extent I would say the Crowne plaza St Louis airport kind of follows this model. It certainly not a holidome but it has the big atrium concept with a beautiful interior that you can theme how you want And you can have the main entryway being in a hallway but you can have balconies to where people can view the atrium area. The challenge here is I don't know whether this would be able to fit under the La Quinta brand or not or if there's another more premium brand under Wyndham that you could place this under. The other advantage of doing this would be if there isn't much competition yet for this location, you can expect competition will develop from well established brands. Being closest to the development is going to be the most ideal for someone staying for work purposes. So if you build in your current location and let's say Marriott or Hilton decides to build a hotel right across the street 6 months after you built your hotel, it may cut into the price that you can charge. If you can have a new built holidome or atrium type, you have something to possibly draw in people that a standard Fairfield inn/courtyard/residence inn or Hampton/garden inn / Homewood Suites will unlikely have. The only problem I can see would be if they'd go really high and put in an Embassy suite. The other thing that I found with people who travel often for work, they will try to stick with the name brand hotels from Marriott, Hilton, and IHG for the goal of points. Some of them will use it on the traveling so then they can stay at the really swanky places on their own dime. The other part is now we have the Airbnb and vrbos so that can also be a factor in competition. 4. You could try building the La Quinta then decide to make it a sister to the Travelodge and by the time the market moves up for the location after Google comes in, you could decide whether you want to continue to renovate it or just get rid of the rest of the old hotel. You could possibly keep just the dome section and use that for entertainment purposes for the La Quinta. 5. If business travelers are going to be the clientele you'll need to really sound proof the room so it isn't noisy when people with families stay there because business travelers don't want to hear kids playing usually. The other problem that just occurred to me is when you have the pool in the whole dome is going to smell like chlorine. Personally I love it but apparently most people don't. So maybe another thing you could do is have a section of rooms that have a pool view available but have most of the hotel not having a pool view. The older Drury inn in Columbia Missouri has a small set of rooms that has a pool view something like six rooms compared to most of the hotel doesn't even have a pool view. So that's another way you could do it. There's other hotels that do that. Again I'm not an expert I've never done this before and I salute you for how much you've done. I would love to see the hotel be revived or replaced with something similar or next generation but it's not my money and not my time. I will say that La Quinta would not be quite as interesting to watch but the few pennies you get off of me watching your videos shouldn't be the reason for making one decision or another. You should do what makes sense to you for your needs I live far away from Lincoln and really have no reason to visit at this point in time so I wouldn't be a regular customer. Best of luck regardless of what you choose. God bless

My dream recently got crushed. An abandoned hotel in near me, (which was owned by a company that was doing nothing with the property) got sold.

I worked there 40 years ago & it was a very nice place, but there are so many things to do to be able to keep it. I have seen it really nice & I have seen it go down hill. I really think it will take more to keep it and try to make it nice again, I would say build a new one. With new places going up around you You really need to have a nice really nice place for people to stay :) Hope this helps some

If you need help blighting your property I have a certain set of skills.

I’ve so enjoyed following your journey. It is SO awesome seeing you fix and renovate the old Holiday Inn. I’ve always had a dream of owning a location and fixing it up, to make it what it used to be. I know it is a TON of work, though, so I don’t know if that opportunity would ever happen. Anyway, I do have a question for you! Have you ever got the pool up and running? Do you know when and if the Holidome will ever be open? 🙏🏻 I know you’re going to do some amazing things. Building a new hotel would be super nice, however, you are one of the few rockstars in the US who is trying to get an old Holiday Inn back to its former glory and who appreciates the nostalgia of that bygone era. Keep up the great work! Always cheering you on! 😊

Keep going it’s a great thing for Northeast Lincoln. It would be wonderful if you could reinvent a little history and bring back the Holidome That had a lot of great history in Lincoln Is there a possible partnership with Holiday Inn?

You'll feel better once the inside rooms are up and running.

Wishing you the best on this new venture.

Wishing you luck buddy. Hope it works out!

How exciting! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to continue to watch your journey.

Hey feel free to give feedback on your thoughts on this one :) Also lmk thoughts on doing premieres/ conversations

Would make sense that traffic would be going up with college getting ready to start back up

I’m currently getting into bulk vending machines. I’ve done some furniture flipping in the past need to get back into it. I’ve also done drop shipping on eBay back in the day when they wasn’t so strict on it.

I love the ideas.

Best of luck.
