Motel 6 Tucumcari offers a value-add acquisition along the I-40/Route 66 corridor in eastern New Mexico, a historic gateway for cross-country travelers. The 89-key asset sits on 2.07 acres, built in 1960, and is priced under $8,000 per unit — a rare basis for a nationally recognized brand.
The property is currently absentee-managed, running at just a 30% RevPAR index to comp set — real upside for a hands-on operator. ADR is already trending up, and seller financing is available for qualified buyers.
