What it's REALLY like building my first hotel

at Salt Ranch in East Nashville, and let’s just say-it hasn’t been smooth sailing. In this update, I’m walking you through the unexpected delays, construction challenges, and budget surprises that come with transforming a historic 1850s property into a modern luxury retreat.
From hidden structural damage and outdated electrical systems to tough decisions about custom furniture and pool construction timelines, this video covers what it really takes to tackle a large-scale hotel redevelopment project. I’ll also share tips on managing contractors, budgeting for surprises, and keeping projects on track when timelines slip.
If you’re interested in commercial real estate development, renovations, or just love seeing the process of restoring old buildings, stick around for the full tour and behind-the-scenes look!

Awesome. My wife is an architect and I'm a Realtor/Investor in Knoxville and were looking into development in the next few years. We love this style of video.

[@shaffikmanzi7321]

Great vid, we’ll produced. Educational and very informative 💯💯

How difficult was it to get the city/util co. to move the electrical poles?

[@TylerCauble]

Typically, it's a nightmare. Fortunately, our electrical contractor stayed on top of it and they got them moved pretty seamlessly

[@Allin55]

that exterior blue is awesome, would you mind sharing what paint/color it is?

[@JC-cx5ec]

L.A. is a a city that loves to tear down old and build new. I’m sure it’s a cost decision in almost every case. I commend you on doing the opposite. Wish there were more developers like yourself that creatively save older properties.

[@TylerCauble]

Appreciate that - there’s just something about these old buildings 🙌🏼

[@abbott5580]

Do you plan on keeping this or selling it? I'd love to see a video on management/business planning if you decide to keep it.

[@fabricevalentin1745]

Sounds like a trip to china. Great video!

[@Rich_In_RealEstate]

For the furniture can they air ship it from China versus putting it in a shipping container?

[@valueaddmike]

Tyler what are the weird things you are implying people do in hotel rooms?!

[@TylerCauble]

Oh, wouldn't you like to know

[@peerlessneedle4272]

It's cheaper to go to China, check out the furniture and come back.

[@TylerCauble]

No kidding 😂
