Hotels as Real Estate Investments

Catalog description

Unlike other real estate assets in which revenue streams are tied to short- and long-term leases, hotels can re-lease on a daily basis. However, national, regional, and local economic factors have a significant impact on a hotel’s ability to re-lease and its rates. Designed for commercial appraisers, lenders, brokers, portfolio analysts, hotel industry professionals, and investors, this seminar examines the economic factors that generate hotel revenues. Topics include operating expenses, operating ratios, capitalization rates, and values for the four primary hotel categories—budget, mid-priced, upscale, and luxury (and related) franchises. Various research and reference sources are discussed and utilized.
