Operating at Building Scale

Front desk, housekeeping, revenue management and institutional finance

The final aparthotel book is about running a single building as one business, with a front desk, a housekeeping team, revenue management and finance arranged at a scale that individual buy-to-let lending was never designed for. It shows you the systems a building needs to run reliably, and the line you cross when you employ people, from self-employed investor to employer with a payroll and legal duties. You will see how to build the team around you. The funding chapter explains why financing a building differs from financing a flat and how the habits of an individual investor can work against you. You will see how to choose and embed software as the nervous system of the operation, and how the character of risk changes at building scale. The book is honest about where self-teaching stops working and ends with a twelve-month scale plan that draws on the model, the economics and the law covered earlier in the series. This is the final book in the Aparthotels series.
