With the record tourism in the Big Apple last year, coupled with the improvements in the hospitality industry, one of the most favored asset classes for investment is a New York City hotel. While many hotels are owned by local independent investors, one of the most active investors in this asset class is real estate investment trusts (REITs) and private-equity funds.
If you want to be an active player in the REIT or the private-equity marketplace, one thing is certain: Forget the price of admission and take the leap to become a member of the team of owners in the New York hospitality marketplace.
