    The boutique hotel game isn’t hard—but it is misunderstood. Rich breaks down exactly why boutique hotels have become one of the most compelling real estate plays right now, especially for investors coming from the Airbnb world. Drawing from firsthand experience owning and operating multiple boutique hotels, he walks through the structural advantages most people overlook—from commercial zoning and regulatory protection to operational scale under one roof.

Rich shares real numbers, real examples, and how small operational changes can translate into millions in added asset value. The conversation also explores why aging ownership, outdated operations, and the largest wealth transfer in history are creating a rare buying window—and why boutique hotels may be the natural next step for serious Airbnb operators looking to scale without multiplying headaches. This is a practical, operator-level breakdown of how boutique hotels actually work, how value is created, and why this asset class may be one of the most overlooked opportunities in hospitality today.
