Switch directions or stay the course?

[yveskleinsky]

Man, I tell you- what a crazy week it's been! I've had a bunch of stressful landlord stories all come down at once- frozen pipes, a water bill that rivals the Bellagio, a shit fountain in the backyard- which probably doesn't rival the Bellagio, just to name a few. I'm sure I'll laugh about it down the road, and I'm trying to now- but forcing a laugh just seems to cause more indigestion!

So, here I am at this crossroads. SteveO and Andviv have me sold on the idea of commerical properties and the economies of scale. MJ has me sold on the idea of creating a system and offering better service to people. ...Part of me is thinking that I need to look into investing in a hotel type property with a staff. All these individual cabins have their own unique quirks which is stressing me out- at best. I would like to own one big building where the water is being used often (so it doesn't freeze) and there is onsite cleaning. I could then offer better and better services for people, as there is a crew in place.

I don't know if switching course is a smart thing to do, or if I am being too premature with wanting to throw in the towel with single cabins. Any thoughts?
