In today’s episode, Rich sits down with special guest Blake Dailey. Blake is a boutique hotel and STR investor as well as an active duty Air Force officer. He started investing in short-term rental houses with ADUs and scaled quickly into commercial real estate. After surpassing his W2 income with his cash flow, Blake pivoted to commercial multifamily and syndicated his first large apartment deal. Combining his experience with raising money, doing commercial deals, and BRRRRing STR properties, Blake jumped into commercial short-term rentals with converting run-down hotels/motels into renovated boutique hotels. Blake has a $20M portfolio of apartments, 5 boutique hotels, and a mix of short-term rentals homes across California, Florida, and Utah. Rich and Blake dive into their similar paths from government workers to investors, the opportunities within the boutique hotel space, and key advice on the operations/management side of the business. They also talk about the importance of aligning yourself with those that will help and encourage you grow to your full potential.

In today’s episode, Rich sits down for an interview with Jorge Contreras – short-term & mid-term rental investor, ground up developer, and Airbnb arbitrage & purchasing coach. Since 2017, Jorge has been operating short-term rentals, and this year he closed on his first ground-up development project. Before real estate investing, he and his wife were working long hours at their day jobs, and he was determined to find a way to financial freedom. Now he’s been able to retire himself, his wife, and his mom, and he’s passionate about helping others break free from the 9-to-5 shackles so they can do whatever is aligned with their purpose and what they were born to do. Rich and Jorge discuss key plays right now in the high interest rate environment, their responses to those that discourage investing in California, and the government & school system’s goals of creating employees. They talk about the importance of mindset and surrounding yourself with the right people instead of “dream killers” in order to become the greatest version of yourself and reach your full potential.
