Question 1

Who is this event for?

Accepted Answer

This is a private, invitation-only gathering for accredited investors who want a candid discussion about hospitality real estate, tax-advantaged strategies, cash flow, and long-term return potential. The format is intentionally small and conversational rather than a broad public presentation.

Question 2

What should I expect from the evening?

Accepted Answer

Expect cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in a private setting, followed by a substantive discussion on how hotel real estate can fit within a broader wealth strategy. The conversation is meant to be educational and practical, with time for informal questions and peer discussion.

Question 3

Will specific investment opportunities be presented?

Accepted Answer

The focus is education and discussion, not a sales presentation. If current or future opportunities are mentioned, nothing discussed should be understood as an offer to sell securities; any offer is made only through definitive offering documents to eligible accredited investors.

Question 4

What does 'accredited investor' mean?

Accepted Answer

An accredited investor is someone who meets certain income, net worth, or professional criteria under securities laws and is therefore eligible to participate in certain private investments. In plain terms, it is a legal standard used to determine who can access offerings that are not registered for the general public.

Question 5

What is hospitality real estate, and what is a select-service hotel?

Accepted Answer

Hospitality real estate refers to properties used for lodging, such as hotels. A select-service hotel is a hotel with fewer amenities than a full-service property—typically no large banquet operation or multiple restaurants—which can mean simpler operations and potentially more predictable margins.

Question 6

What do net IRR, equity multiple, preferred return, and hold period mean?

Accepted Answer

Net IRR is an estimate of the annualized return to investors after fees and expenses, while equity multiple shows how many total dollars may be returned for each dollar invested. A preferred return is a stated threshold investors may receive before the sponsor shares in profits, and the hold period is the expected length of time the investment is owned; all such metrics are projections, not guarantees, and nothing here is an offer to sell securities, which are offered only through definitive offering documents to eligible accredited investors.

Question 7

What are cost segregation and bonus depreciation, and why do investors care?

Accepted Answer

Cost segregation is a tax study that identifies parts of a property that may be depreciated faster than the building as a whole. Bonus depreciation can allow some of that depreciation to be taken earlier, which may create paper losses that can help offset taxable income, depending on an investor’s situation and applicable tax rules.

Question 8

What is a 1031 exchange?

Accepted Answer

A 1031 exchange is a tax rule that can allow an investor to defer certain capital gains taxes by selling one investment property and reinvesting in another qualifying property under specific timing and structuring requirements. It is a deferral tool, not a tax elimination strategy, and it usually requires careful coordination with tax and legal advisers.

Question 9

What do cap rate, RevPAR, and K-1 mean?

Accepted Answer

Cap rate, or capitalization rate, is a simple property valuation measure that compares a property’s net operating income to its price or value. RevPAR means revenue per available room, a common hotel metric for comparing operating performance, and a K-1 is the tax form many private real estate investments send investors each year to report their share of income, loss, and deductions.
