2 Failed Flips, 1 Big Swing: A Nurse's Bet on the Hotel Business | Lorenzo Mercado E391

Most people wait until they've "made it" to start talking about what they want. Lorenzo Mercado isn't most people.   Lorenzo is a registered nurse turned real estate investor who has done three house flips, two of which didn't go the way he planned, and one that did. Now he's setting his sights on something entirely different: boutique hotel acquisitions. He hasn't bought one yet, but he's telling everyone he will, and that's exactly what makes this episode worth your time.   We talk about the power of getting in the right rooms, why putting your aspirations out loud before you've "earned the right" to say them is actually a strategy, and what it looks like to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of a real estate journey in real time. Lorenzo is already plugged into a hospitality investing community that collectively owns over 40 hotels nationwide and is being coached by one of the top names in the boutique hotel space. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a lane they didn't choose, who wonders if it's too late to pivot, or who thinks they need a perfect track record before they can go after something bigger. You don't.   Lorenzo's story proves that showing up, being honest about where you are, and surrounding yourself with the right people is the whole blueprint.   Follow Lorenzo on Instagram: @lorenzo.mercado_ Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wjpodcast/&nbsp;Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory&nbsp;RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit &amp; Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!
