The Accidental Real Estate Success
Alejandra’s investment journey began unexpectedly when her father faced a problematic property deal. “My dad gave up on it. I might as well… if you allow me, I can still give you money and I can help you out, but I can also help ourselves out by keep investing,” she explains. This single decision launched her into a profitable real estate portfolio, including lucrative Airbnb operations.
Mastering the Short-Term Rental Game
Transitioning from traditional real estate to Airbnb presented unique challenges. “The customers are very hands-on. So if you’re not on the phone with them, they’ll probably give you a bad review,” Alejandra shares candidly about her learning curve. Her experience reveals the importance of automation and customer service excellence in the hospitality space.
Understanding the Next Generation of Customers
As founder of ACMG Digital Podcast, Alejandra has identified a crucial market shift: “Gen Z years… they’re more equipped with information, so we have to be smarter when it comes to marketing.” She believes this generation represents approximately 60% of today’s customer base, making them essential for business growth.
The AI Advantage
When asked for her top advice for new entrepreneurs, Alejandra is clear: “Learn AI. Right now, that’s where the gold rush is at. No matter what you’re selling or doing, you learn AI.” She emphasizes that businesses ignoring this technology will fall “10 years behind.”
