The Aerie
“For many years, we thought about owning a Bed & Breakfast when the time was right. When we reached that point, we set out to learn as much as we could about becoming innkeepers and how to avoid the pitfalls in finding the right property and funding that made sense for our individual situation. Early […]
Oak Hill on Love Lane

The Yellow House Bed & Breakfast
“We would not have been successful in achieving our goal of B&B ownership without Rick’s help and guidance.

Cornerstone Bed & Breakfast
“For more than 25 years, my grandmother (Rick Newman’s Mother) owned the New Hope Lodge in New Hope, PA. I spent much of my childhood after school with her at the inn watching her work never imagining that one day I would want to own an inn myself. I know my Grandmother would be so […]

North Lodge at Oakland – Asheville NC
“We spent the better part of 15 years dreaming of owning a Bed & Breakfast.

We put in a great deal of effort to develop a knowledge of the business, however, the […]
Tall Pines Inn
“We started in October and missed 5 closing dates struggling to finance the purchase of Tall Pines Inn. We were told by every lender that we were well qualified, so we didn’t understand why we were having trouble securing a mortgage. We tried for months to work with banks local to the property. It cost […]
Carolina Bed & Breakfast – Asheville
B & B Financing “My husband Kevin and I will tell you that we could not have bought the Carolina Bed & Breakfast in Asheville, NC without the invaluable knowledge, guidance and dogged persistence that Rick provided to us.

Devonfield Bed & Breakfast
Bed & Breakfast Financing “After an exhaustive search of inns in multiple states, we finally decided that the first inn we loved was, in fact, the inn of our dreams. We needed to get moving to be able to close in time for the busy season, so we were pressed to find a lender that understood […]
1900 Inn on Montford
“We are the proud owners of the 1900 Inn on Montford as of 10 weeks ago, we know this would not have been possible without Rick and his team patiently guiding us through our great journey. We learned from Rick how to utilize a retirement rollover to increase our working capital and how it all […]

The Aerie Inn ~ New Bern, NC
“We initially found Rick’s website back in 2010 when we first entertained the thought of buying a bed and breakfast. I saved his site as a favorite and went about business as usual since the timing wasn’t right for us to buy. Keith and I would periodically peruse bed and breakfast for sale sites and […]
