A few key things you’ll want to focus on are:RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) – the core metric for valuing operations.Occupancy trends and ADR (Average Daily Rate) – these drive your revenue projections.Expense ratio and management structure – smaller motels can run at 40–50% expenses, while flagged hotels can be much leaner with scale.CapEx and reposition potential – if it’s a rehab, understanding brand standards and conversion costs (for example, turning an independent motel into a soft-branded flag) can make or break the deal.My partner and I have underwritten several hotel/motel projects in the Los Angeles area, so I’m happy to share some insight into how we typically structure the analysis and what lenders look for in this space.

A Real Conversation That Shifted My FocusI had a great call with a director of enrollment from Pace Morby’s team.

It will be the difference between having a conversation about how you can help, and having the door slammed in your face.

We have not been able to secure financing and had conversations about it.

I will also file action against Steve for the wrongful conversion of my interest in the 75 apartment units.

You may want to revisit the conversation or get a second opinion to make sure you're optimizing your tax strategy properly.I’ve also sent you some resources and guides that might be helpful, feel free to check them out.

We maintain properties at a high standard and ensure reliable, on-time payments.”That one sentence changes the conversation.

I am already amending permits at another property to house a 250-seat indoor/outdoor beer garden with apartment conversions above. 

Sometimes, a quick conversation about how both parties can streamline communication can yield surprisingly effective results.Have you tried setting up a shared digital workspace or platform where both you and the vendors can update the status of maintenance tasks.

I’m new here and thrilled to join the conversation.
