Ep 109The Overlooked Hotel Model Making Real Money | Mike Nielson
Real estate developer Mike Nielson, CEO of LivAway Suites and West 77 Partners, explains economy extended stay hotels as a hybrid closer to multifamily than traditional lodging, serving essential-workforce and life-transition guests needing furnished stays from roughly 90 days to six months. He shares how COVID revealed the segment’s resilience when traditional hotels collapsed, inspiring the mission to deliver a cleaner, safer, more consistent product for underserved customers. Nielson details LivAway’s rapid growth since its first 2024 opening—over 100,000 room nights sold, eight hotels open, and additional properties in development nationwide—and credits vertical integration across brand, development, construction, and property management for consistency. He also recounts an early contractor bankruptcy crisis, his contrarian investing roots, a cash-on-cash-focused investor base, and advice on compounding experience and relationships over time.00:00 Why Build LivAway02:08 Extended Stay Explained03:19 Who Stays Here06:41 COVID Proof Demand11:20 Fixing A Broken Product11:58 Vertical Integration Edge14:41 Contrarian Origin Story17:21 Underwriting To Conviction26:28 Investor Mindset Cashflow29:52 Childhood And Football Drive34:48 Doubters As Fuel36:53 Why This Niche Wins37:49 Base Hits Not Home Runs38:31 Nature Versus Nurture40:01 Hard Work Childhood Lessons45:04 Work Smart And Risk46:46 Contractor Bankruptcy Crisis51:24 Paramedic Walk Leadership53:31 Riots And Broken Waterwalls01:00:27 Live Away Growth Vision01:03:35 Compounding Career Advice01:07:29 Final Wrap And Where To Follow
