Limited-service notes reprice as CMBS special servicing stays busy

Operators with cash and a clean labor plan still have a window on 80–180 key boxes that lenders would rather not own.

The desk is seeing more dual-track marketing on limited-service hotels in secondary Sun Belt and Midwest markets: foreclosure timelines continue while brokers shop notes at 55–70 cents. Buyers who can close with operator-ready staffing and a 90-day PIP have the advantage over pure capital shops. Watch franchise PIP clocks — several flags will not extend if the property sits dark through a winter season.
