Yes, you can upgrade from Runway to Altitude and only pay the difference.

Hotel Launch is best suited for investors who already have experience with STRs or real estate investing and are looking to scale into boutique hotels. If you’re brand new to STRs, you may want to gain some foundational experience first. However, if you’re a real estate professional (e.g., designer, consultant, developer) or you have capital and are ready to invest, Runway can help you fast-track your learning and prepare for boutique hotel ownership.

The Hotel Launch community is made up of serious STR and boutique hotel investors who are actively growing their portfolios. As a member, you’ll get:

✅ Direct access to experienced investors who are scaling just like you.

✅ A space for deal-sharing, collaboration, and problem-solving.

✅ A supportive environment where members ask questions, share strategies, and help each other navigate challenges.

✅ Exclusive networking opportunities through live calls, group discussions, and in-person events (for Altitude members).

The Runway community is open to a broader group of STR investors, while Altitude offers a curated mastermind experience with direct mentorship from Blake, connections to Blake’s professional network, and access to Blake’s proprietary SOPs.

No, you do not need to own a hotel already to join Altitude. But you need to be ready to buy - both in your experience level and your available capital to invest in a hotel deal (your own capital or investors).

Yes! Both Runway and Altitude offer guidance on underwriting deals, analyzing financials, and securing financing for boutique hotels.

In Runway, you’ll learn the fundamentals of underwriting and financing through course materials and group coaching. As well as weekly underwriting calls.

In Altitude, you’ll get hands-on support, including 1-on-1 underwriting help from Blake and his team and access to real deals. Altitude members also benefit from Blake’s proven underwriting frameworks and insights from real-world boutique hotel acquisitions.

Hotel Launch memberships are annual programs, meaning you’ll have full access to all coaching, content, and community features for one year from the date you join. At the end of the year, you’ll have the opportunity to renew your membership and continue scaling with Hotel Launch. Plus you will be locked in at your entry price for as long as you renew.

Yes for Runway. Runway has Klarna and Afterpay payment plan options at checkout.

The truth is: that the more you put in, the more you get out. There are 2 weekly group coaching calls in each but to be successful you’ll need to dedicate time outside of that to study up, find deals, and make the magic happen.

Absolutely! A portfolio of STRs operates very similar to a boutique hotel in a lot of ways. If you have a portfolio of STRs the content in this course will help you too.
