But his demands are ridiculous, he has not been elected to do anything, and, justto think a "furreigner " is going to be advising onlegislation is quite naive.

It's not that profitable.
Let's say you rent for 90 a

You need to clean every time a guest leaves,
And the maid does not work for free.
There are even costs in constant replacement of sheets, towels, pillows,etc...
So by the time you pay all your service providers and the bank, there is notmuch left.
