Not sure on preferred - but sub debt that I have seen has been quoted at 15-18%. 15% being the the required payment with 3% in PIK notes to get to an all-in cost of 18%. Those numbers are what I have seen for middle-market business acquisition financing. Real estate is a distinct vertical, and probably has lower rates. Perhaps closer to 12-15%. Agreed though that hospitality has been gutted, which will likely create opportunities of its own.
