The STR Growth Show 87. From India with No Money to Owning 10 Hotels
We have Neil Shah, a humble yet incredibly successful boutique hotel investor who now owns 10+ properties and has helped countless others break into the hospitality space. Neil immigrated to the U.S. in 1997 with an electrical engineering degree, barely English, and no hotel background. Fast-forward to today: he’s built a boutique hotel portfolio and become a go-to resource for aspiring investors.
In this episode, we cover:
• How Neil got his start in hospitality (by accident!)
• Learning English through hotel work
• Becoming a GM and leaving California
• His first hotel investment (and how it happened by helping someone else)
• Boutique hotels vs traditional STRs
• Advice for people trying to break into this space ...and so much more!
If you’ve ever thought about getting into hospitality or boutique hotels, this is a must-listen.
