I spoke with Suraj Bhakta, CEO & Chief Legal Officer of NewGen Advisory, for #NoVacancyNews about what's really happening in today's hotel market.

Suraj broke down why #PIPs have become one of the biggest roadblocks in #hospitality deals—lenders reluctant to fund them, costs rising, and brands sometimes using them as leverage in negotiations.

We also covered: 👉 How #inflation and tariffs are driving unpredictability in construction and operations 👉 Why the gap between buyer and seller expectations is slowing transactions 👉 The importance of being realistic about asset value before going to market

Suraj's advice to owners? Run the numbers as if you were the buyer. If it doesn't pencil for you, it won't pencil for anyone else.

A timely, no-nonsense look at hotel transactions in today's environment.
