Matt explains how he built and self-manages themed properties near sports destinations—starting near Lambeau Field in Green Bay, expanding to South Bend near Notre Dame (including a two-house “Rockne compound”), and adding a pool property near the Pro Football Hall of Fame area in Massillon/Canton, Ohio. They discuss amenities and design, tools like Turno and PriceLabs, seasonality, platform reliance vs. direct bookings, operational workload, and regulatory risk. Matt shares 2025 plans to open a Jim Thorpe–themed property in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, and considers future restructuring and possible expansion into boutique hotels or other ventures.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Podcast Twist Intro</p><p>01:18 Wacky Whistle Origins</p><p>02:00 Dubai Retail Chaos</p><p>03:59 Product Longevity Mindset</p><p>06:15 Real Estate Pivot Begins</p><p>06:54 Football Brand Story</p><p>09:20 Family Football Inspiration</p><p>10:29 No Guru Policy</p><p>14:21 Canton Market Strategy</p><p>17:26 Purchase Rehab Numbers</p><p>20:21 Revenue Ops Systems</p><p>22:26 Rockne Compound Expansion</p><p>24:18 Two Houses One Compound</p><p>25:14 Compound Pricing Strategy</p><p>27:13 Minimum Nights Party Risk</p><p>27:43 Dynamic Pricing With PriceLabs</p><p>29:29 Direct Booking Challenges</p><p>31:16 Next Market Jim Thorpe PA</p><p>33:17 Who Books These Stays</p><p>36:39 Scaling Risks And Diversification</p><p>37:35 Future Markets Hawaii Texas</p><p>39:13 Graduating Beyond STRs</p><p>42:13 Life Logistics And Time Zones</p><p>45:18 Wrap Up Links And Advice</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with me:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lanekawaoka/</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheWealthElevator</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheWealthElevator</p><p><br></p><p>Lane Kawaoka is a developer and multi-family syndicator who owns 10,000+ rental units and is the leader of “Hui Deal Pipeline Club” which has acquired over $2.1 Billion AUM of real estate by syndicating over $200 Million Dollars of private equity and most importantly distributed more than $45M back to our investors since 2016. </p><p><br></p><p>Check out our Top-50 Investing Podcast, The Wealth Elevator.</p>","author_name":"Lane Kawaoka, PE"}
