Note that in the rules as written, you cannot build a hotel if you cannot build the necessary houses first, so to go from a vacant 3 property color group to one with all hotels you need to have a bunch of houses in the bank.)

One strategy built around this was to eat up all the houses on weak color groups - 4 apiece on the grays, for example; then when you're up for hotel building, you sell all 12, build your hotels, and buy back all 12.
