Bryan Ercolano’s Expansion Of Turnkey Pads
Bryan Ercolano, the visionary behind Turnkey Pads, has revolutionized the luxury short-term residential rental market. With a focus on top-tier locations such as Las Vegas, Costa Rica, San Diego, and now Miami, Ercolano’s entrepreneurial journey is a tale of innovation and expansion.
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, and an alumnus of James Madison University, Bryan’s transition from a government consultant in Washington D.C. to a Vegas real estate maverick didn’t happen overnight. Finding the cost of living significantly lower in Las Vegas, he relocated in 2016 and worked for Zappos and Amazon before making the bold decision to embark on his entrepreneurial journey.
Bryan’s foray into real estate began when he seized the opportunity to purchase and manage smaller condos at Palms Place during a foreclosure wave. His strategy initially involved direct marketing – leveraging public property records and writing funny postcards to put on the doors of several units.
“It took me four weeks to get a response,” Bryan recalls. “After acquiring one, then two, then three, it became a snowball effect.”
These initial investments laid the groundwork for what would become a thriving business. As one of the first people to start hosting Airbnb at Palms Place, Bryan’s strategic approach to acquiring and renovating properties quickly scaled his operations. He transformed the building’s dated spaces, originally built in 2008-09, into luxurious, modern rentals, including a stunning penthouse on the 58th floor.
Having established operations in Las Vegas, San Diego, and Costa Rica, Bryan is extremely optimistic about the expansion of Turnkey Pads to Miami. The move will mark a significant growth in the company’s management portfolio, which currently sits at over $100 Million.
“Turnkey Pad’s focus on renovating properties aligns perfectly with Miami’s vibrant and dynamic real estate market,” says Bryan. “Our ability to transform spaces into high-end, sought-after rentals is sure to elevate the standard of short-term luxury accommodations in the area.”
In the years to come, Bryan Ercolano plans to move towards a developer role, creating mixed-use hotel and condo options within the short-term rental landscape. His ability to identify opportunities, embrace change, and continuously innovate in such a competitive market will undoubtedly bring him continued success.
