How STR Operators With $100K and a Portfolio Are Becoming Hotel Owners by The End of This Year
We help you find it, fund it, fix it, and fill it.
You just bring the operating experience you already have.
Why hotels, why now
The math is different
A house is worth what the house next door sold for. A hotel is worth what it earns. Raise rates $22 a night on a 20-room hotel and you add over $0 in value.
The sellers are leaving
Over 0 small hotels in the US. More than 0 for sale right now. Most owners are older, tired, and ready to retire. This wave only happens once.
Nobody else can grab them
Too big for one person to buy alone. Too small for big investment firms to care. That gap belongs to operators like you — and it will not stay open forever.
You already know how to run one
Marketing, pricing, guests, teams. You built all of that in STRs. The only parts you haven't done — finding the deal and funding it — are exactly what we walk you through.
Real properties. Real operators. Real results.
Four stages. We cover all four with you.
Most operators are strong at one or two and get burned on the rest.
Find the deal
The deals worth buying rarely hit the public sites. Commercial real estate is an insider's game. We show you how to get inside the broker relationships where real deals move before they're ever listed.
Fund the deal
The scariest part, and why most never start. We walk you through lending, seller financing, and raising from the investors you're already managing properties for.
Fix the property
Renovation and repositioning without the mistakes that bankrupt first-timers. Estimating rehab correctly, running construction, and avoiding the traps that turn a good deal into a money pit.
Fill it
The systems you already use for STRs, adapted to a hotel big enough to support a full team under you. You stop being the operator and become the owner.
Who this room is for — and who it isn't
This is you
- ✓You currently operate short-term rentals with real portfolio and team experience.
- ✓You have at least $100K liquid to deploy.
- ✓You're ready to move from managing other people's properties to owning your own.
This isn't you (yet)
- —You're brand new and haven't operated a portfolio yet. Go build that first — we'll be here.
- —You want someone to buy and run a hotel for you while you stay hands-off. That's a different service; we'll point you to it.
We only work with 10 operators a month
The room is kept small so the coaching stays hands-on.
