And the modern traveler doesn’t want cookie-cutter rooms anymore — they want design-driven, Instagrammable stays with real hospitality baked in.In this episode, Rich breaks down the exact playbook he used to escape his 9–5 as an air traffic controller and build a fast-growing boutique hotel portfolio with seller financing, AI, and influencer-powered marketing. You’ll hear how he bought hotels for six figures down, doubled revenue in 60 days just by turning on OTAs, and why boomers offloading no-tech properties is the biggest wealth transfer no one’s talking about.Rich also reveals the levers that make boutique hotels scale way faster than Airbnbs ever could: dynamic pricing with AI, automated concierge systems guests think are human, turning innkeeper suites into revenue, amenity-fee arbitrage, and a weekly influencer pipeline that no big-brand hotel can replicate.If you’ve ever wondered how to get into hotels without being “rich,” or how boutique assets can outperform multifamily in today’s market, this is the blueprint — from acquisition to operations to forced appreciation.Tap in.
