my landlord told me room rentals are "basically a hotel" and i can't decide if that's the warning or the pitch

talked to the guy who owns the duplex i'm renting right now, just asked him casually how he thinks about the house he has two streets over, the one with five bedrooms he rents individually. he said it without hesitation, "it's basically running a hotel, bethany, people are checking in and out every few months." he wasn't complaining exactly but he wasn't bragging either. i've been sitting with that all week because i don't know what side of that line i want to be on. i'm in richmond, looking at houses in the 180 to 220 range that could plausibly hold four or five rooms, and the math on per-room has always made more sense to me than a whole-house lease, but he said "hotel" like it meant something specific about his time, and i didn't follow up the way i should have. i'm wondering if people here who've been running rooms for a couple years would describe it that way, and whether the hotel feeling comes from turnover specifically or from something else in the day-to-day. because if it's turnover then the market matters and my target zip is near vcu which maybe helps or maybe makes it worse. i genuinely don't know yet and i want to know before i buy, not six months after.
