Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The Alger Motel is a 0.77-acre motel property with 6,500 square feet and 9 rooms plus a living-quarters area that can be used for on-site living and/or as office space. The property has a brick original structure on a cement slab foundation. A wood enclosure added later creates a single entrance with heated hallways to the rooms.

The motel has been closed for a number of years and is being sold as-is, though the structure “all looks sound.” Improvements include an asphalt roof replacement in 2016, septic and well upgrades in 2018, and replacement of some windows with energy-efficient windows. Some shower stalls have also been upgraded with modern ones, and there are two 200 amp circuit breaker panels. Interior contents included are mini refrigerators, microwaves, bed frames, and other items, along with other furnishings and supplies.

Heating is forced air, with a private water source. Parking is provided via a parking lot, and the property sits on N M 76 Road in Alger, Michigan.
