Leadership Experience
Qila Capital was founded by a team of healthcare professionals and real estate operators who saw an opportunity in South Texas's hotel market. We acquire cash-flowing, branded hotel properties, manage them through Marriott and IHG's operational systems, and distribute income to our investors annually. Our leadership brings over 50 years of combined experience across hospitality, healthcare, and finance.
Hotels generate daily revenue from room bookings, event space, and food and beverage. Unlike residential or office real estate, hotel income resets every night, which means pricing adapts quickly to demand. Branded properties (Marriott, IHG) benefit from global reservation systems, loyalty programs, and professional management standards that independent hotels can't replicate.
South Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. San Antonio alone is adding thousands of new residents each year. The region's demand drivers include military installations, cross-border trade corridors, major airports, university systems, and a booming healthcare sector. Texas has no state income tax, and its business-friendly regulatory environment continues to attract corporate relocations.
Branded, cash-flowing hotels across South Texas operated through Marriott and IHG systems with institutional standards.

Plain-language guides on accreditation, asset classes, and private offerings so you can evaluate opportunities with confidence.
Key terms and concepts explained — so you can evaluate private real estate opportunities with clarity.
Private real estate investing means putting capital into properties or funds that are not traded on public stock exchanges. Instead of buying shares of a REIT on the stock market, you invest directly into a specific property or portfolio. This typically gives investors access to cash flow from real assets, but it also means the investment is less liquid than publicly traded securities. Private real estate offerings are usually structured as limited partnerships or LLCs and governed by SEC regulations.
A 506(c) offering is a type of private placement under SEC Regulation D that allows companies to raise capital from verified accredited investors. Unlike a 506(b) offering, a 506(c) permits general solicitation, meaning the fund can publicly advertise. However, every investor must go through a formal accreditation verification process before they can participate. This structure is designed to protect both the investor and the fund by ensuring all participants meet SEC financial thresholds.
The SEC defines an accredited investor as an individual with a net worth exceeding $1 million (excluding their primary residence), or someone who has earned more than $200,000 individually ($300,000 jointly with a spouse) in each of the past two years with a reasonable expectation of reaching the same level in the current year. Certain professional certifications (such as Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82 licenses) also qualify. The accreditation requirement exists because private placements carry risks that differ from publicly traded investments, and the SEC considers accredited investors to be in a stronger position to evaluate those risks.
A publicly traded REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is bought and sold on stock exchanges like any other stock. Its price fluctuates daily based on market sentiment, not just the value of the underlying properties. Private real estate, by contrast, is tied directly to the performance of specific properties. You typically receive distributions based on actual rental or operating income, and your returns depend on the property's cash flow and eventual sale price rather than stock market movements. The tradeoff is liquidity: REIT shares can be sold any day, while private real estate investments are usually locked for a set holding period.
Like any investment, private real estate carries risk. Property values can decline due to market conditions. Occupancy rates can drop if demand weakens in a particular market. Interest rate changes can affect financing costs and property valuations. Private real estate is also illiquid, meaning you generally cannot sell your position quickly if you need access to your capital. Additionally, there is always execution risk related to the fund manager's ability to operate and eventually exit the investment as planned. Investors should review the offering memorandum carefully and consult their financial advisor before committing capital.
It means the property is already open, operating, and generating revenue at the time of acquisition. Some real estate investments involve ground-up development or major renovation, where the property produces no income for months or even years until construction is complete. A cash-flowing acquisition skips that phase entirely. The hotel is already welcoming guests, booking rooms, and producing income from the day the fund closes the purchase.
NOI stands for Net Operating Income. It is the total revenue a property generates minus its operating expenses (staff, utilities, maintenance, insurance, property taxes, management fees), but before debt service (mortgage payments). NOI is the standard measure of a property's operating profitability and is used to calculate metrics like cap rate, debt service coverage, and investor distributions. A higher NOI generally means more cash available to distribute to investors.
