Key Takeaways
Creative Financing: You can acquire real estate without using your own money. Strategies like lease options and unsecured hard money loans are viable options.
Control vs. Ownership: Brad's strategy focused on controlling the hotel through a lease with an option to purchase. This allowed him to manage and improve the asset before fully owning it.
Identify Problems, Offer Solutions: Brad recognized that the hotel had a revenue problem and a rooms problem. He proposed solutions, like leveraging third-party booking sites and converting staff housing into additional rooms, to the owner.
High Risk, High Reward: This deal involved significant risks, including taking on unsecured debt, maxing out credit cards, and facing unexpected construction and legal problems.
Profit from Profit: Once the hotel became profitable, all subsequent expenses, including construction costs and legal fees, were paid for using the hotel’s revenue, not Brad's personal funds.
