$750K deployable is our entry. Tier 1 deals run $750K–$5M (10–40 keys). We cover six tiers total, up to $100M+ trophy assets, with the same done-for-you approach across the spectrum.

Hotels qualify as an active trade or business under §469, which means depreciation losses can offset your W-2 or business income — without the 100-hour material participation test that limits STR investors. On a $5M acquisition, cost segregation typically reclassifies 25–35% of basis into short-life property, generating roughly $1.2M of first-year depreciation. At the 37% bracket, that's around $440K in federal tax savings in year one. Cost segregation studies are performed in-house by Legacy Wealth, the Rise Collective's tax strategy arm. Confirm with your CPA — actual benefit depends on your individual tax situation.

ROAM Hospitality, our in-house operator. Same team. Same ecosystem. From the moment your property opens through ongoing stabilization, ROAM handles staffing, revenue management, OTA distribution, F&B operations, guest experience, marketing, and monthly owner reporting. No third-party management handoff.

Typically 12–18 months from engagement to opening, depending on property scope and renovation timeline. Some turnkey-condition acquisitions can open in under 6 months. The active Asheville pipeline deal, for example, is in turnkey condition because the previous owner already completed a $1.6M renovation.

We work with 1031 exchangers regularly. Your QI handles the exchange structure and timing; we handle the property identification, underwriting, and operations. The 45-day identification window is enough time to select the right hotel — when you have the pipeline.

Personal use is possible but has implications for tax treatment under §469. We'll walk you through the structure on the discovery call so it's done correctly. Most of our investors prioritize the tax strategy and limit personal use accordingly.

Three paths.

One: sell to an institutional hotel buyer (which is why we build to institutional-quality standards from the start).

Two: 1031 exchange into the next Hotel Turnkey deal, deferring capital gains and restarting the depreciation clock.

Three: hold for legacy and generational transfer. We plan for all three from acquisition forward.

For every property we present, you receive a full written repositioning and analysis memo — strategic vision, competitive analysis, renovation plan, brand positioning, detailed budget, stress-tested pro forma. You see our thinking before any decision is made. If the deal doesn't make sense, you don't invest.
