If you do the math, on that basis alone hotels make a better business case.
An anywhere decent condo is going to cost $1500 a month or $50 a night.
Plus you have to sink some upfront costs into that like a squeaky bed, a cheap sofa, shower curtain, some nice soft fluffy towels, and a 58" Plasma TV.
Say $2400?
So over a year the condo costs $56 per night if you use it every day of the month.
If you don't have clients with a red tide fetish, you divide the $1700 by say 21 days and it is $80 per day. Take off a few weekends for sanity and you might work 15 days and your minimially furnished condo with the nosy neighbours is over $100 a day.
copycraigs can get you top notch hotels all over the GTA for between $40 and $75 whenever you want.
You get to move around to see clients where it is convenient to them so you have a bigger market and create a sense of urgency to see you while you are in their area.
AND you are a much more difficult target for cops who pick the lowest fruit to pick for show arrests.
