Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! Today host Joe Jensen welcomes Blake Dailey, a successful real estate investor specializing in short-term rentals and boutique hotels. Blake started his journey with a single Airbnb unit and has since expanded his business to four states, employing over 30 people with more than 200 short-term rental listings generating millions in revenue.

During their conversation, Blake shared updates from the past year, including significant personal and professional milestones, such as expecting his first child, selling a business, purchasing a 130-unit hotel, and transitioning from military life to full-time entrepreneurship. Blake discussed the challenges and opportunities of scaling a short-term rental business into a more complex hotel management operation. He highlighted the importance of modernizing business models, improving guest experiences, and optimizing operations to maximize revenue and profitability.

Despite facing delays and complications with a USDA-backed refinancing loan, Blake remains focused on enhancing his current property, leveraging his team, and maintaining a balance between work and personal life. He emphasized the value of discipline, clear goal-setting, and prioritizing relationships, both in business and family life. Blake also announced an upcoming conference at his hotel in Tennessee, where attendees can learn firsthand about boutique hotel investing.
