Listen "Key West Bed & Breakfast Talk With Rich Pesce"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Rich Pesce to talk about how he started his construction management business in Lower Manhattan months before September 11th, and how he became a real estate investor in three Key West Bed & Breakfast Inns: The Inn on Fleming, Coco Plum Inn Bed & Breakfast, and Key West Bed & Breakfast. We discuss the mindset needed when starting a business in one of the country's hardest times, how to navigate the Key West real estate market, and how having the right business partner can make all the difference. I had the great pleasure of conducting this interview in one of Rich's homes in Old Town - known famously as the Calvin Klein Home (for the obvious reason 😎).
