Question

I intend to migrate to the US & buy a Motel; is it a good & profitable business to think about?

Answer 1

IT WILL BE IF YOU DON'T RUN IT LIKE YOU'RE STILL LIVING IN THE THIRD WORLD.

I'VE SEEN MANY MOTELS RUN BY PEOPLE FROM YOUR PART OF THE WORLD FAIL FOR THAT VERY REASON.  ONE PLACE ACTUALLY PAINTED THE BATHTUB, SINK, AND TOILET. THEY RIPPED OUT THE OLD CARPETS AND LEFT THE FLOORS THE WAY THEY WERE.  MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO ADOPT FIRST RATE AMERICAN WAYS AND FORGET THE WAY THEY DO THINGS IN THE THIRD WORLD.  HIRE SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS AMERICAN ENGLISH TO WORK YOUR FRONT DESK.  GOOD LUCK.

Answer 2

Whats with you Indians and motels / convenience stores?  

A motel can be a good profitable business in the right location.  Location is everything.  There are some old motels which have been bypassed by new highways that will never profit again.
