As you may have heard, December 8th was a huge day for us. It marked the first in a series of webinars about our fourth offering, which is focused on our Business Select Hotel REIT.
Not everyone could make it live, and that’s to be expected. Fortunately, a replay, along with responses to attendee-submitted questions, is now up on our offering page. Now, everyone can watch, and learn about how we are paying monthly dividends to our shareholders through cash flow (aiming for 8% annually) and will share in the profits (assuming we make them) when we sell our hotels
In addition to an impressive turnout, we also received lots of great questions from the audience during our Q&A session. We thought we should give everyone the chance to benefit from our answers, so we posted written responses alongside the webinar recording.
