🏨 How do you turn a seasonal boutique hotel into a $2M value-add opportunity?

In this episode of The Hotel Investor Playbook, we sit down with Ryan Edwards, owner of a 17-unit boutique hotel in Maine, to break down the real strategies that make a seasonal hotel thrive.


We cover:
✅ How he financed his $3.6M hotel deal with 75% bank financing
✅ The $100K revenue increase that added $1.4M in value
✅ How he built a 100% direct booking strategy (no OTAs!)
✅ Staffing challenges & using visa programs for seasonal workers
✅ Marketing strategies that fill rooms months in advance
