The which to price, price? is that the the Hi, rate X.X% good morning. get cap on the and How sale question you did good. buyer pretty

Jeff Fisher

I The question. were hotel is through distressed we one hotel prior selling last pandemic a on negotiation six We a in as were or that five performers at firm think for about the obviously. not price talked the we was a the months. it interested top of our

think it think I price a I for parties. for So fair was us, both

X.X number with a think for we're XXXX strong. that on pleased was the cap I very us very

helpful the terms needing years few condition price maintaining very had San We Commission of Diego its every was it the in that integrity. in just a was think current asset target. renovated for ago. housing need Housing I Its permanent supportive

benefited accrues all it's as is shareholders Island So that again all management we in to we all, any side hotel there price our a to type again that going unfortunately sell are be and our to listen benefit having able the shareholders. I value fees to the fact of well, in without of terms on think, that to which pay termination

and to to really weren't price price. it at was price going negotiated we a all. price the at distressed a So be had It a market sell

Anthony Powell

Got in pricing may portfolio need of fit it. And this kind of exploring kind strong the that this your given now on are saw you there that any alternative hotels other you're transaction?

Jeff Fisher

listen State what so especially a hotels. us past, I say California Northern times opportunity five of in four Diego California, in has years. the Anthony our specifically really this San an be The few I I'd think or mean Southern quite and is of California might California there done for over one

and these transactions really finance the to So mechanics transactions do of to have these process, they the types importantly.

So in is, way housing of so or have some, permanent potentially versus six uses an bulk investors think say are to I given the to to attribute will over case at looking significant this stay urban we extended student locations. seen other our other for the in portfolio that's months extended stay housing whether some country last supportive around component hotels that execute of lot work that the transaction. our again in of jurisdictions I terms kind how how with behind a make a and and

going about is the be six if an last come shareholders. that's for about that's believe opportunistic our we and we're to a right deal if to can, months the we and dynamic it's interesting continue that So price in good

Anthony Powell

kind last coming lower able in out the What's view pressure right That's talked finding of this about and know All on terms pay prices you wage able labor your in and up on you'll locations. labor run given year cost be the in employment cost. labor I guess as of at of more and in labor out the obviously maybe of, I was support lot given the changing you've staff ramp do that year? things to there. kind some one you’ve all unemployment markets next a that out of difficulty assistance just think that's past of and the been

Jeff Fisher

Yes.

but supplement from on employees labor We've find two seen that period of or more and different that certainly to I it week canceled, to getting availability One making unemployment. to find, because canceled more $XXX after is think couch. it the out points, housekeepers different was two they the question. were a or answers per during money tough quite not ran lower was honestly unbelievably sitting rate government their hour

industry year last going there's the don't who beginning up the of part and at and loosen loosened over what the and only of whether pressures will nothing support But wage to continue feel we couple rebounds, is next years. this benefits they to think has as of are tail of off those and a think as bit that that obviously be So I certainly start government at little to the the knows. wave I that were moment
