Already investing in short term rental?
Need something to supercharge your investing game?
Our Hotel 101 Bootcamp is for you!
This is the perfect training session for anyone who is curious about hotel investing but don't know where to start. We will give you a bird's eye view of the entire hotel investing process.
ENROLL NOWWhy should I invest in hotel?
Economies of Scale: in most instances, investing in a 20 unit motel or a 20 cabin resort will be cheaper per unit than investing in 20 separate STRs. Plus, you will get better prices on renovation materials, setup furniture, cleaning quotes, and management.
STR Regulations: scared of regulations coming to your favorite town? The great thing about hotels/motels is... these regulations don't apply to them! In fact, imagine being the only player in town who can legally rent out units on Airbnb/VRBO!
Tax Benefits: imagine what the tax savings will be with cost segregation studies on a 30 unit property! Learn the secrets that the ultra-wealthy know: real estate investing is for offsetting taxes, not just for cashflow and appreciation.
Valuation Based on Performance of Asset: tired of your STR making $100K a year and still being appraised for exactly the same as your neighbor's property that makes $20K a year? Investing in commercial real estate where the income is the basis for the valuation!
Diversification:Owning a resort with different offerings (monthly rentals, cabins, RV pads, different bedroom counts) diversifies your risk more since you're able to cater to a wider range of traveler demographics.
What will I learn?
RESEARCH

Underwriting
How do you do a back-of-the-napkin valuation of the property based on financials?
LOI/Offer
Should you hire a real estate agent or a real estate attorney? Should you draft your own Letter of Intent (LOI) or have someone draft a purchase and sale agreement?
Due diligence
What steps should you take after the contract is signed to protect your earnest money? What kind of tests, information, research, and conversations should you be having?
FINANCING
What lenders finance hotels in this rapidly changing market? How do you compare rates/terms? What to do if no banks will finance your deal? What are ways to legally fundraise on your first deal?
Operations
What software do you use to run your first hotel? Do you only list on Airbnb or will you have it on traditional hotel booking sites? How do you hire your first hotel manager?
So... what are you waiting for?
