Why this exists
Most guides sell inspiration.
You need mechanics.
What to pay for a building. Which lease clause saves you. What to say when someone asks for a discount. How to make fourteen strangers into a community. What to do at 3am when a guest breaks the one rule that holds the house together.
I looked for this manual when I started. It didn’t exist. Everything was either a €47 PDF of platitudes or a €50,000 consultant. So after building the house, I wrote it.

What’s inside
Eight parts. Thirty-one chapters.
The whole method.
Part I
The Thesis
Why community-led houses win, the niche selector (8 proven stances), and what you're actually selling.
Part II
Find & Assess
The Property Potential framework, the full feasibility model, the sensitivity test, and how to negotiate with dormant-building owners.
Part III
The Transformation
Designing for belonging, the essential spaces, systems & infrastructure, budget, and the 90-day launch sequence.
Part IV
Getting Guests
The polarising content engine, screening, the 5-minute-reply sales method, objection scripts, and pricing tiers that lift the average.
Part V
Running the House
The guest journey, rules & culture, community rhythm, conflict & safety, physical plant, and the checklist stack.
Part VI
Volunteers & Team
The volunteer model that protects your margin, finding great people, and the founder boundaries that prevent burnout.
Part VII
Scaling
Systemising yourself out, the readiness test, and opening site two without losing the soul.
Part VIII
The Toolkit
Every message template & script, all the checklists, the feasibility worksheet, the situations manual (18 scenarios), the operator's year, and the failure files.
From the field · How the case studies read
Every chapter teaches the principle, then shows it living in a real house. How Savi holds a 100% sober line warmly, why the long table out-earns every amenity, the exact valve-by-valve thinking that lets volunteers fix the pool without calling anyone. Real rhythms, real numbers, real mistakes.
Honesty first
It’s not for everyone.
- You own or can access a building, or you're seriously hunting
- You'll be hands-on, at least at the start
- You want a real, community-led home, not a rental block
- You want the whole system, not a pep talk
- You want passive income with zero involvement
- You're chasing a quick flip
- You want a franchise-in-a-box
- You believe the building is the product
If price is the deciding factor, we’re probably not the right fit. And that’s okay.
The offer
Two ways to get it.
The guarantee. Read it. If you don't believe it's worth what you paid, tell me within 14 days. Full refund, and keep the feasibility worksheet.
Why there's no checkout. I sell this personally, after a short conversation, because I'd rather you not buy it than buy the wrong thing. Request it and I'll reply, usually within minutes.
Where this can lead. A small number of operators who build to this standard may eventually be invited to open under the Savi brand itself. The name, the systems, the waitlist. Not a franchise you apply for. A door that's earned. The Playbook is where it starts.
Questions
Is this a course?+
No. It's a complete written manual, designed to be read in a weekend and used for a decade. No videos to wade through, no drip-fed modules.
Does it work outside Spain?+
Yes. The method (niche, feasibility, launch, sales, operations) is location-agnostic. The case study is Spanish. The numbers framework makes you plug in your own market.
I don't have a building yet. Too early?+
The opposite. Part II exists to stop you buying the wrong one. The feasibility worksheet alone can save you six figures.
Why not just hire you?+
You can. That's the advisory. The Playbook is for people who'd rather build it themselves, and it's honest about when advisory is worth it.
"Decide who it's for. Hold the line. Protect the feeling. Everything else is detail."
