How Do You Invest in a Hotel?
With the appropriate direction and assistance, investing in hotels can be a lucrative endeavor. There are several avenues for you to enter the hotel investment market.
Buy a Hotel
Buying hotels are one way to invest that is obvious but not necessarily the best for you. However, depending on where you live and what you want from the business, there may be high upfront capital requirements for building hotels. Besides, even if they are operated by staffs, hotels remain business and not passive investments.
Investment In Hotels Through The Crowdfunded Initiative
Crowdfunding in real estate investing is relatively new. An opportunity for investment may be identified by a real estate investor or developer who lacks enough funds to actualize it. For raising the required capital therefore, the developer registers their proposal on crowdfunding platform so that investors pool money in exchange for an equity interest in his project. Crowdfunding platforms exist for all types of commercial real estate including hotels.
Only accredited investors are allowed into crowdfunded real estate in most cases. Real estate investments through crowdfunding have no liquidity at all while other alternatives do have some liquidity aspects surrounding them as well as mandated holding period of several years usually. The company cannot withdraw funds during this phase of the project because it is still active.
Alternatively, crowd funders can make some really serious cash so it might be worth taking on the execution risks and lack of liquidly here too. Crowdfunded real estate investments typically earn 15% or higher per year for investors under normal market conditions. The risk tolerance for risk must however be slightly higher as well as long term investment goals.
Invest in a Hospitality REIT
Mutual fund companies deal with bonds, stocks or commodities while real estate investment trusts handle property related ones instead. REITs gather money from investors and invest in a pool of properties. Additionally, many REITs are listed on other major exchanges making them easy investments and highly liquid.
Among the various types of commercial property that REITs specialize in, hotels is one of them. In terms of variety, however, some REIT hotel businesses focus on specific locations or types of hotels.
FAQs
During times of economic prosperity, hotels can be an excellent way to create wealth in the long run and generate income at the same time. Most forms of commercial real estate usually cannot alter their room rates daily; but this system may do so because it has a huge number of rooms. As such, it can even increase prices as demand dictates.
A combination of right ingredients: strategic location; appropriate price; quality physical asset; marketing strategy; and employees’ dedication make running this business possible. Running a hotel doesn’t guarantee profit though. Hence you should expect to work hard toward profits.
