How to Get Brokers to Send You Deals | Hunter Johnson E58

Most hotel investors struggle to get brokers to take them seriously. The result is the same handful of buyers getting the first look at every good deal while everyone else fights over leftovers.

In this episode, Michael sits down with Hunter Johnson, President of Investment Sales at US Hotel Advisors, to break down how brokers actually decide who gets deal flow. 

Hunter shares what he looks for in a real buyer, what turns him off immediately, and the simple behaviors that make brokers want to send you deals before they ever hit the market.

You’ll learn:

• What separates a “real buyer” from a time-waster
• The signals that instantly increase your credibility
• How to build relationships that get you called first
• Creative ways to structure deals when traditional debt won’t work
• What lenders want to see from first-time hotel buyers
• When SBA loans make sense and when they don’t

If you want more brokers sending you legitimate opportunities, this episode shows you exactly how to get on their radar and stay there.
