As Airbnb regulations tighten in major cities, investors are pivoting toward a new opportunity—boutique hotels. In this episode of The Rich Somers Report, Rich sits down with Dustin Heiner, real estate investor and host of The Master Passive Income Show, to discuss why boutique hotels are quickly becoming the next big investment trend.
Rich and Dustin dive into:
How Airbnb regulations in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are shifting demand toward boutique hotels.
Why boutique hotels offer higher cash flow, forced appreciation, and long-term scalability over short-term rentals.
The massive wealth transfer happening as baby boomers retire and sell underperforming hotels.
How to find, renovate, and market boutique hotels using direct booking strategies, OTAs, and influencer marketing.
Why institutional investors and REITs are beginning to acquire boutique hotels as part of their portfolios.
Rich shares how he built an $85 million boutique hotel portfolio, the strategy behind his investment fund, and why he believes this asset class will be the next major real estate boom over the next five years. If you’ve been investing in Airbnbs and are looking for your next move, this episode will show you why boutique hotels might be the best opportunity in today’s market.
