Questions About Qila Capital's Team

Learn how our leadership team operates real assets, aligns with investors, and supports accredited hotel and healthcare investing.

Qila Capital is a hospitality-focused private equity real estate firm based in San Antonio, Texas. The firm acquires and operates Marriott and IHG branded hotels across South Texas, offering accredited investors access to passive income through structured hotel investment funds. Qila Capital's current open fund is the Hotel Cashflow Fund, targeting 8–10% annual distributions with no management fees charged to investors.

Qila Capital focuses exclusively on hospitality real estate, specifically Marriott and IHG branded hotels in South Texas growth markets. Unlike generalist real estate funds, Qila Capital targets recession-resistant assets with permanent demand drivers such as airports, universities, military bases, and healthcare corridors. The firm charges zero management fees, meaning investors earn first on every distribution. Investors who commit $100,000 or more also receive access to preferred travel benefits across a global hotel network.

Qila Capital's Hotel Cashflow Fund invests in operating, branded hotels across South Texas including Marriott and IHG affiliated properties. The fund currently holds three assets: Aloft San Antonio Airport, Aloft San Antonio at UTSA, and Staybridge Suites Laredo Airport. All properties are income-producing from day one, with no ground-up development or construction risk.

Investing with Qila Capital involves five steps. First, review the Hotel Cashflow Fund offering memorandum. Second, schedule a discovery call with Qila Capital's investor relations team. Third, verify accreditation through the investor portal. Fourth, sign subscription documents electronically. Fifth, wire funds and begin participating in the hotel portfolio. Qila Capital handles all acquisition, operations, and reporting—investors remain fully passive throughout the hold period.

Qila Capital's hotel investment funds are available exclusively to accredited investors under SEC Regulation D 506(c). To qualify, an investor must have a net worth exceeding $1 million excluding their primary residence, or annual income of $200,000 or more individually ($300,000 jointly) for the past two years. The minimum investment in Qila Capital's Class A1 offering is $50,000.

Qila Capital's Hotel Cashflow Fund targets a 3–5 year hold period, with exit expected through a strategic sale or refinancing of the portfolio. Annual distributions are paid to investors during the hold period. This is an illiquid investment and early redemption is not guaranteed—accredited investors should be prepared to hold for the full term.

Qila Capital targets 8% fixed annual distributions for Class A1 investors and 10% fixed annual distributions for Class A2 investors, plus an annual uplift bonus of up to 5% and 7% respectively. The projected IRR across Qila Capital's hotel investment fund is 13–17% over a 3–5 year hold period. Investors earn first—Qila Capital charges no management fees and earns only after investor distributions are paid.

Yes. Accredited investors can participate in Qila Capital's Hotel Cashflow Fund through a self-directed IRA or other qualified retirement account structures. This allows investors to deploy tax-advantaged capital into hospitality real estate backed by Marriott and IHG branded assets in South Texas. Investors should consult their financial advisor or IRA custodian to confirm eligibility and transfer procedures before investing.
