Brittany Arnason: I mean, can you even imagine the DMs this chick gets?
"I wanna stay up all night admiring you while you sleep."
"I'd like to watch you eat a banana."
"I'ma lick you clean, shawty."
No, you're right. That last one was too much. Moving on.
Investor Girl Britt says she's a small-town girl building a $100 million empire.
Yesterday she tried to sell me a self-storage program with AJ Osborne.
Today it's a course on high-yield boutique hotels with Sujay Mehta and this other guy Tijani (but you can call him TJ).
Read on for Hotel Investor Academy reviews.
Britt's been investing in real estate for almost 15 years now. Renovating single-family homes, running Airbnbs - the usual.
But the last few years have been nuts. Interest rates got stupid, and home prices stopped making any damn sense.
It's like:
"Oh, this 1,100-square-foot dump? We're asking $670k. But the seller's willing to leave his TV with the built-in VCR, so it's actually a pretty sweet deal."
Yeah, no. Time to pivot.
Keep up or get cooked, right?
So Britt goes to a BiggerPockets mastermind and realizes she's been playing small. She heads home, does her first commercial deal, and supposedly doubles her income overnight.
Momma didn't come to play. She came to own the whole block. And honey, the block is hot.
So what next?
Small hotels.
And honestly, why not? She already knew short-term rentals and liked the design side of things, so on paper it made sense.
Enter Sujay, a commercial real estate developer and hotel investor.
He showed Britt how to invest in independent hotels with 10 to 100 rooms.
And according to them, the timing couldn't be better.
You've got:
- Baby boomers retiring, and they own a big chunk of these properties
- Short-term rentals getting their cheeks clapped
- More Airbnb restrictions than ever
- Brutal interest rates
- Better cash flow potential with hotels
Add it all up, and Sujay and Britt - oh, and don't forget TJ - think hotel investing is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Hmm.
Or will Britt be saying the exact same thing about land next week, mobile home parks the week after, and assisted living after that?
Until she runs out of gurus to partner with or courses to sell.
Nevertheless, here's Sujay's three-step strategy to print money with boutique hotels:
- Find the deal. Search Ten-x.com, Loopnet, Crexi. There's local, national, and even international hotel brokers. For off-market deals, you got conferences, cold calling, skip tracing, driving for dollars, direct mail, and good old-fashioned networking.
- Fund the deal. Traditional options include bank, SBA, or USDA loans. You can partner with other investors, do a JV, raise money through syndications, use a 1031 exchange, or explore creative financing like lease-to-own agreements.
- Fill the rooms. Get a solid website. Show up in search. Make online booking easy. Rebrand if needed. Use dynamic pricing. Promote it on social. Renovate when needed. Go hard on customer service.
That's the condensed version, and my brain is now jelly leaking out my ears.
But Britt says not to let limiting beliefs get in the way.
Hotel Investor Academy will walk the path with you, step by step.
Here's what you get:
- The Hotel Investor Academy Accelerator
- Weekly call with Britt, Sujay, or TJ
- Monthly group deal analysis with a coach
- Monthly tax and legal call
- Monthly mindset call
- Monthly special guest call
- Access to the Hotel Investor Academy community
- Documents and resources
- And, naturally, "so much more"
Cost for all that?
They keep that part tucked away for the sales call, which usually means the number's got some ass on it.
I did see it's $299/month for continued access after your initial buy-in though.
Refunds exist in theory. In practice, you'll need to jump through multiple hoops to get one.
So here's where I'm at.
Sujay seems to walk his talk. That's always a plus.
Britt? Well, she jiggles in her bikini and makes sure her followers always have something new and shiny to buy.
Together, they've packed just about everything you'd need into the program. Depending on the price, it may very well be worth buying.
I rate Hotel Investor Academy a 7/10.
I'd rather marinate in sweats and type my way to seven figures.
Q&A
Q: Is Brittany married?
A: Her ring finger's bare and there's not a man in sight, so she's either smart enough to keep that shit private... or she's single. If I was her husband and she kept me hidden, I'd be in my lifted Silverado, crying to Chris Stapleton on the way to Chipotle to pick up the guac they forgot from my queen's order.
Q: Brittany Arnason net worth?
A: Honestly? Who knows. These real estate gurus are pros at misleading you with "portfolio value" - aka what everything might be worth if the market cooperates, every buyer shows up with cash, and Zillow's out here zestimating meth labs at a million five. Britt says she won't stop 'til she hits $100 million. And hey, with enough $10,000 coaching sales and hotel exits, I could see it. If anyone can handle a massive load... of tax-deferred 1031 exchanges, it's her.
Q: Any idea what she's made purely from real estate?
A: Her website just says she's done "millions" across hotels, self-storage, single-family, new construction, short-term vacation rentals, apartments, and NNN industrial properties. As for how many millions and how much she actually kept? Your guess is as good as mine. Just buy her next course and shut your mouth.
Q: What is Think Bigger Sooner?
A: She calls it a free weekly newsletter on mindset and investing. I call it Brittany's way of staying in your inbox while she figures out her next course launch.
Q: What are Hotel Investor Academy students saying?
A: I only found two testimonials. Charles successfully underwrote and submitted three offers in three months. Charlesia says she's more confident now, raising capital and going after bigger deals. She never imagined she'd be eyeing multi-million dollar hotels this early in the game, but now it feels possible. Huh. So nobody's actually bought a hotel yet?
Q: Any complaints or red flags?
A: Trustpilot and BBB are spotless, but Reddit? Not so much. Brittany got involved with AJ Osborne's Cedar Creek Capital Fund 1, and it's been a disaster for investors. One guy threw in $50k and only got back two distributions totaling less than $1k over three years. Apparently Brittany was brought on as a GP to help raise money despite having zero self-storage background. Welp, mission accomplished. Now Reddit thinks she's an absolute fraud who should be in jail.
Q: Yikes. You mentioned an alternative?
A: The one where you rot in the same hoodie for three days, your coffee breath could peel paint, and you get doorbell anxiety because you forgot how to talk to a real human outside of the YouTube comment section? And yet, somehow, you still pull seven figures just from typing? That one? Yep. I got you. Watch this video.
