Six years ago, I was working full-time as an air traffic controller—feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and searching for more. I took a big risk, cashed out my 401(k), and went all-in on real estate. Today, I run Somers Capital, managing a real estate fund with 5 boutique hotels and an $80M+ portfolio—and through HotelInvesting.com, I mentor aspiring investors like yourself on how to build generational wealth through boutique hotel ownership.
