Kevin Reardon. From Attorney to Hotel Empire: Creative Finance, Marketing Arbitrage & Why Thinking Different Pays

Kevin Reardon went from sleeping on his law office floor to turning rundown motels into boutique hotel gold mines. In this conversation he breaks down the creative financing structure that got him his first property with zero bank loans, the Facebook ad arbitrage that generated $50K from $200 spend, and why he thinks differently about "expensive" deals than everyone else.

What you'll learn:• The triple-net lease + purchase option combo that launched his hotel career• How to solve the seller's problem first (then structure your win)• Why one viral TikTok weekend generated $200K in bookings before opening day• The mindset shift from "I can't afford it" to "does the deal work?"• Marketing arbitrage opportunities most hotel owners still miss• When to double down vs. when to pull back (and his biggest regrets)

Kevin also opens up about walking away from a $700K law salary, the danger of taking advice from people who haven't done what you're trying to do, and why he and fiancé Julia choose hotels over houses every time.

If you've ever wondered how to think like a creative dealmaker instead of a traditional buyer, this episode rewires your approach to both real estate and life.
