So excited to announce to the community that as of last month, I acquired my largest deal to date which is a 130-Unit Hotel and Resort in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee! I'll include all details below.

THE LOCATION: The hotel is conveniently located in the breathtaking Smoky Mountains, just minutes away from the Great Smoky Mountain NP entrance. And it doesn’t end in closing the deal; it's the beginning of an extraordinary transformation to come with a full renovation and redesign!

THE VISION: With 130 units and 8 buildings plus a wedding and event venue, our vision includes revamping this space into a dream hotel. Picture this: 3 pools and hot tubs, a dynamic game room, a versatile venue, pickle-ball courts, outdoor theater, mini-golf, and more. We are going to create a vibrant experience for our Guests!

THE NUMBERS: With a purchase price of $7M, my Investors and I put down $2.7M as the down payment on the property. With our vision mentioned above, we're allocating a whopping $3M into the complete renovation, re-brand and makeover of the hotel.

THE INVESTOR: For those of you who don't know me, I'm Blake Dailey and this is my 6th Boutique Hotel investment! My first purchase was back in 2021 with a small little 8-unit Boutique Hotel in Florida. Since then, I've documented the process as a Boutique Hotel investor and have a deep commitment to sharing my knowledge around Boutique Hotel Investing with others who are looking for a path to financial freedom, and Boutique Hotels is the best path to get there in my personal opinion. Let's connect!

 Great stuff! My business partner and I are developing a 60 acre 15-unit glamping/wedding boutique resort in Asheville, NC right now and learning a lot along the way! Seems like 130 units is a beast to manage, I'd love to hear about your on-site management systems and "experience management" process to stand out amongst the fierce competition in the smokies.

 Awesome man, that sounds like a sick project. I have a good developer friend in the area who has a similar type property I should connect you with if you don't know him. I really like Asheville too! Would be happy to connect sometime, shoot me a DM.

 Thanks man! I want to hear the update on your deal - hit me up!

 Great goal! Definitely a manageable place to start and a good stretch. We'll have to connect when I'm in town one of these times or once we relocate there in April.

Hey @Michael Porche it's in person only. The Florida sunshine and humidity protect us from covid lol.

I look forward to seeing you at all this fun, free event in PCB. This is our monthly meetup where we network, share deals, find partners, and get local area advice on all things real estate investing! Come out to relax, grab food and/or a drink, and network with other local investors.

We have everyone from novice investors, real estate agents, brokers, and experienced investors knocking down larger deals. This is the right room to be in if you want to buy real estate in and around PCB!

@Lara White happy to! It saved me a couple hundred bucks so I figured others might find it helpful!

As a helpful tip, I just got my hotel room booked at the Sheraton (where BP Con is held) for over $100 off the price on the BP Con site or the hotel site's normal rate. I am active duty military and booked directly with the New Orleans Sheraton website and was able to select a military price. This rate applies for Federal and State employees as well, you just have to show your ID when you get to the desk. 

@Jason Mileshko come on down to the meetup, would love to connect!

@Sam Wilson looking forward to seeing you October 6th at our monthly meetup! 6pm at Craft 850 in Panama City Beach for any PC/PCB investors that want to come network and hangout.
