However, now may be the optimum time to look at upgrades that position the pr<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">operty to be successful in a post-COVID-19 world.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Properties may want to explore funds made available through the CARES Act that the President signed into law late last month. Included in the act<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0is a 100 percent bonus depreciation for Qualified Improvement Property (QIP). A QIP is an improvement made to the interior portion of a building. The\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">advantage is that the improvements can be written off immediately. So, it may be the perfect time to explore the upgrades your hotel has been pondering over the last few years.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The tax benefit is obvious, however, so is the streamlined work process. With low occupancy, work can be completed expeditiously by not having to stage it out or work around guests.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0I<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">n exploring the tax benefits and various loan options available under the CARES Act <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">(or SBA)\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">and possible projects, it\u2019s important to have a vision of your hotel property post-COVID-19.
