I Bought A Hotel In A Foreign Country (with Marc Weisi)
Okay Puerto Rico is technically US land, but you know what we mean.
In this episode of The More Smarter Show, Jake and Dylan sit down with Marc Weisi, owner of a 16-room boutique hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Marc breaks down his journey from Wall Street to full-time real estate and hospitality, sharing what it really takes to run a high-touch, operationally intensive hotel business.
They dive into:
Why hospitality is more “business” than real estate
How Marc designed the hotel around a very specific guest avatar
Hiring, SOPs, and building systems in a small boutique operation
Using technology like channel managers and Asana to scale
Marketing through micro-influencers and OTAs
The economics of private lending versus equity
Puerto Rico hospitality tax credits and why they’re so powerful
Real, raw stories from running a hotel in a transitioning neighborhood
If you’re curious about entrepreneurship, boutique hospitality, or creative real estate strategies, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it actually looks like to build, operate, and scale a hotel in Puerto Rico.
