Who is powering boutique coffee shops in the Mission?

I am very interested in working with investors seeking vacation properties, long term rentals, boutique hotels, multi-family rentals, and more.

My brokerage, Sterling Fine Properties in Scottsdale/Paradise Valley, is a small boutique brokerage where you get a lot of support, the owner will offer you mentorship in whatever you need including investing (which he does a lot of), and there are no fees associated with working with the brokerage.

While in all fairness, Kelly Drive actually has some pockets that are not really god-awful, just the name “Kelly Drive” sends semi-informed out of town investors running for the nearest boutique coffee shop to calm down and gather their courage over a white chocolate sprinkled Frappuccino.

Right now my wife and I are with a little boutique firm here in Lake Oswego called Soldera.. and the owners are all like minded and all do investment's and develop and build.. so there is no conflict with them and the managing broker is an attorney as well so she keeps us well grounded...Of course they won't let me deal with the public at all !!!

For the sake of the discussion, I'm thinking about big houses like Century 21, Long & Foster, and Keller/Williams, though I'd be interested to know if the process varies from the big guys to the smaller boutique operations.

I worked with a group that transformed an apartment building into a boutique hotel in NYC, and while researching, we were able to find trade reports detailing everything from cost per night for housekeeping (even down to the toilet paper) to how much hotels in each class paid in rent.In this area at least (I know very little about Orlando), hotels operate on very high break even occupancy rates - most are in the mid 60s to low 70s, and in the city, its in the low 80s!

:DMore seriously - my wife and I first started talking about opening a boutique cabin rental business (multiple cabins on a single property) since we first started dating.

Right now I'm looking at a 30 year commercial loan from a boutique lender at roughly 5.5% with 25% down.
