> I'm looking at an opportunity to buy a historic bed-and-breakfast in New Hampshire’s Campton area.

I see nothing that makes one more a business than the other if no breakfast or guest services are provided.  

She was only at the meeting because she was offering an exclusive business opportunity with unlimited potential, and asked if she could buy breakfast and explain the “opportunity”.

You can frame it as buying them breakfast/lunch/dinner for the trouble.- Up the hospitality at the property to buy goodwill/happy guests. 

But I will say that we recently stayed at a place where the host lived in the same building and she provided breakfast items like bagels, cream cheese, yogurt and juice, which was very appreciated  and definitely will add to our desire to book with them again.

We will be incorporating our Chicago Cashflow breakfast club intoDiscord.

If you operate this as bed and breakfast, then you can still do what STR does with MTR.

Bought a former bed & breakfast in a popular tourist spot which is essentially a 5-room motel with a manager’s unit.

The issue is many preparers have defaulted to Bed and Breakfast treatment which is usually incorrect for a normal STR.

Thanks, yes, renting out a room as a STR is legal in NYC but that's more-or-less limited to people who are essentially running a bed&breakfast type situation (no thanks!).
