The Airbnb Alternative That’s Making Investors Millions | Gideon Spencer E270
Airbnb has changed the game for real estate investors, but what if there’s an even better way to generate massive cash flow without the headaches of short-term rentals? In this episode, we sit down with boutique hotel investor Gideon Spencer to break down why boutique hotels are exploding as the next big real estate play.
Gideon shares his journey from tech to real estate, how he built a 24-unit boutique hotel projected to net over $1M annually, and why investors are quietly shifting away from traditional short-term rentals. We dive into why boutique hotels offer higher margins, more control, and better scalability than Airbnb, plus the exact strategies you can use to find, acquire, and optimize these high-cash-flow properties.
If you’re frustrated with Airbnb regulations, increasing competition, or unreliable income, this episode will show you how to pivot to a more profitable and sustainable niche strategy.
