Experience Matters. Track Record Builds Confidence.

Our team has acquired 7 boutique hotels since 2021, transforming underperforming properties into high-performing, guest-loved destinations. Every acquisition follows the same disciplined playbook: buy below value, renovate with intention, operate with obsessive attention to guest experience, and deliver outsized returns to investors.

The People Behind the Vision

Caring for people counts — both for our team and our guests. We are operators, not just investors. We build things that last.

W. Roger Salam

W. Roger Salam

Managing Partner & CEO

"The goal is to die with memories, not live with dreams. Go experience life. It's never too late to live your bucket list."

— W. Roger Salam

Award-winning entrepreneur, best-selling author, and one of the most dynamic voices in real estate investing today. Roger graduated with honors from UCLA and launched his career on Tony Robbins' team, where he quickly became the #1 speaker and trainer — a title he earned by actually being that good, not by printing his own business cards. In the late 1990s, Roger joined a dot-com startup that rocketed to a $2 billion market cap at IPO. He later took a blockchain fintech venture public, reaching a peak market cap of $2.5 billion in 2019. Somewhere in between, he started buying rental properties in 1999 and by the mid-2000s had amassed a portfolio of 500+ properties in the Tampa Bay area. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, Roger refused to declare bankruptcy — choosing instead to rebuild from scratch using creative financing strategies including wholesaling and Subject-To deals. (Most people would have taken the easy way out. Roger took the interesting way.) He has delivered over 10,000 professional talks across North America, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, and Asia. He was named "Thought Leader of the Year" by the National Academy of Best-Selling Authors and "Humanitarian of the Year" by Global ICON Media Group. Roger is the creator of "The Sub 2 Playbook" and facilitates world-class mastermind events globally. His mission: empower individuals and entrepreneurs to achieve financial freedom. His philosophy: true wealth comes from empowering others. His schedule: relentless.

Yuri Bouharevich

Co-Managing Partner & COO

"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. Build it one brick at a time, and the results will speak for themselves."

— Yuri Bouharevich

Founder and operational mastermind behind one of the fastest-growing boutique hotel portfolios in the Northeast. With 12+ years of commercial real estate investment experience and involvement in over $1 billion of investment deals, Yuri brings the kind of operational depth that turns a good deal into a great one. A former D1 athlete and NHL prospect (Arizona Coyotes system), Yuri graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science and ranked #1 in his MBA class at Quinnipiac University. In 2020, he left city life with his family for the Adirondacks — and by July 2021, he had acquired his first boutique hotel. Since then, Yuri has built a portfolio of 7 boutique hotels with 186+ units, raising $10M+ in capital and delivering consistent 26–40% annual ROI to investors. His properties have earned 3,800+ five-star reviews across Google, Airbnb, Expedia, and TripAdvisor, and have been featured on USA Today, NBC, CBS, and ABC. His secret sauce? Disciplined leverage (50–60% LTV), six months of cash reserves, a 12-person in-house property management team, and an obsessive focus on guest experience. Every property he touches goes from underperforming to overbooked. That is not an exaggeration — it is a pattern.

Rinat Khaybullin

Rinat Khaybullin

Partner & VP of Strategic Partnerships

"Opportunity doesn't knock twice in the same place — so build the door where the next knock will land."

— Rinat Khaybullin

Rinat Khaybullin is a founder-grade operator with over 30 years of cross-industry experience driving revenue and scaling assets across real estate, telecommunications, hospitality, and marketing. He has built, operated, and successfully exited multiple businesses both domestically and internationally — including raising multimillion-dollar institutional financing to build wireless cable TV networks across 17 major Russian markets before executing a strategic exit. In real estate, Rinat completed over 300 single-family residential transactions during and after the 2008–2012 market crash, leveraging private lender capital and advanced creative financing strategies when most investors were running for the exits. He has developed and managed turnkey portfolios in growth markets, built assisted living facilities and sober living group homes (both with successful exits), and scaled a 61-house rental portfolio across Indiana metros — closing $3M+ in property transactions through segmentation logic and strategic outreach. Before real estate, Rinat opened and scaled U.S. operations for Niznekamskneftekhim — one of Europe's largest petrochemical producers — leading cross-border business development and joint venture structuring from Miami. He holds a PhD in Economics from the Russian Academy of Sciences, with specializations in marketing, business development, and economic trends, along with credentials in International Marketing from Lomonosov Moscow State University. Rinat is recognized as a visionary strategist who integrates emotionally intelligent negotiation with institutional-grade execution. His ability to source opportunities, structure win-win financing, and deploy repeatable acquisition systems positions him as a high-trust operator for lenders and investors seeking scalable, risk-mitigated growth. He also serves on the advisory board of SailFuture (youth mentorship) and the board of Remedy Cove (transitional recovery support).
