He's helping his single mother and she's helping him take care of his single-parent child. That's what loving families do. That makes him smart, not stupid.
In retrospect, it wasn't wise to stay at the cheap motel, but Nash was still new at the eviction game and its paranoia and probably just didn't consider that some of his victims might end up there until one of them did. Before that guy attacked him, moving to a better motel didn't make sense because it would disrupt the kid's schooling and stress him out even more. -

I thought that too, but in the movie they show him reinvesting every penny in his house through Carver.
I don't understand why he was so bent on re-buying the old house in the first place anyway, but i guess that's not taking into account memories and emotional attachment. Still, as soon as i make several thousands per month, i rent a cheap but decent flat for my family and work my way up to the big deals and big money and only
after
having made a significant amount, re-invest in real estate/buy a place
without
the friggin bank! I thought the point was the get out of the bank and loan servitude
The first house is history, work your bum off to buy an even better one and make sure such a situation never happens ever again. Period. Especially now that his new job is a cash-cow.

I actually lived in Orlando for 3 years.
Orlando is a city of transients, not unlike LA. Therefore, there are more than the average number of "rent by the week" hotels, motels and furnished apartments more than you would find in (say) Akron, Ohio.
When we moved there, at first my husband went alone and needed a short term residence until we could finalize arrangements to buy a house there. This was BEFORE the housing meltdown 2001.
He had NO PROBLEM finding some very nice "Extended Stay" suits, near his job. They were nicer than most motels, though more plain than an upscale hotel. The cost was about $1100 a month in 2001. This was cheaper than renting a motel at $40 a night (do the math) and the Extended Stay place had a mini-kitchen and laundry facilities.
He did briefly stay in a motel and there are PLENTY of those remember this is DISNEYWORLD territory. There are more than the average number of motels in Orlando.
If someone was threatening me, I'd move ASAP, to the other side of town. The characters were acting like idiots. Why didn't the mother who looks about 45-50 years old get a real job in a real beauty salon? and bring in $1500 a month? or more? She isn't 80 and there is no indication she is sick or incapable of working.
The child has a mother somewhere is she dead? Why isn't she paying Nash child support?
Once Nash is working.why not move to a nicer motel? Or to a short term rental? or as someone with a brain says here why not rent one of the EMPTY HOUSES THAT THE MOVIE IS ABOUT?
