In This Episode, Morgan Reveals …
- His thoughts on the state of the current economic cycle, and his take on Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffett’s statement that “we’re in the 6th inning.”
- How hoteliers can take advantage of the 2018 Tax Reform, including completing a 2021 PIP by 2019, and replacing an HVAC system in 2018 to cash in on Section 179 expansion.
- Some advice for hotel investors now with respect to increased incentives for acquisitions and capex investments.
- What happens next to the hotel investment cycle, after this somewhat artificial stimulus tapers out.
Morgan created an amazing refi calculator which he agreed to share with my audience.
This easy-to-use Excel file enables hoteliers to quickly input the parameters of their current loan to see if a refi makes sense.

342 | Live Long and Prosper: Hospitality industry embraces senior living
Since she was a teenager volunteering at senior-living facilities in Boston, Serena Lipton knew she wanted a career in senior housing. But she had a difficult time finding the college program she believed would educate and prepare her to serve in the senior-living industry. After graduating from Boston University School of Hospitality Administration and working as an analyst for JLL’s Senior Housing Valuation Advisory, Lipton finally found what she was looking for. This fall she enrolled in BU’s Master of Management in Hospitality with a new concentration in senior living. She and other students are on the cusp of what BUSHA believes is a massive shift in how Americans view aging and where opportunities lie for the hospitality industry.
