No matter what size project you are looking to finance, our experts will help explain the loan options available that can help you acquire the hotel you are interested in buying.
With the SBA 7(a) loan you can finance up to 90%, even sometimes 100% of the cost of the property depending on the final lender. The amortization is up to 25 years. The SBA 7(a) loan allows for a lower down payment and longer amortization, giving the borrower more flexible terms. The SBA 7(a) loan does not have a balloon feature so you only have to get approved once and close your loan once. The SBA 7(a) Loan caps out at $5,000,000.
With the SBA 504 loan, the borrower can finance up to 90% of the costs of the property. The amortization is up to 30 years. The 504 is a more complex loan product than the SBA 7(a) and comes with a more costly pre-payment penalty. A lot of banks will use the SBA 504 loan product for deals up to $15,000,000 or even higher on a case by case basis.
The USDA B&I loan is a US government guaranteed loan product similar to the SBA products. Two important differences are 1. The subject property must be located in an eligible USDA area. 2. The USDA B&I loan will finance non-owner occupied commercial investment property, while the SBA loan products will not. Most banks will finance the USDA B&I loan up to $25,000,000 but some do less and others will go higher.
Nealy every bank in the US will lend money to purchase commercial real estate to a qualified borrower. You can expect to be required to put in 25% of the cost into the transaction from your own cash. Also, the amortization is normally limited to 20 years with a 5 year balloon. Which means after 5 years you will have to be reapproved by the bank for the loan, pay closing costs again, and receive a new, and most likely different, interest rate.
Typically, a 12-to-24-month short term interest only loan. Bridge Loans are great when in the following scenarios.

The location of the hotel is crucial to its success. Choose a location that attracts tourists, business travelers, or your target audience. Consider factors such as proximity to attractions, transportation hubs, and amenities.
Thoroughly analyze the financial health of the hotel. Review its financial statements, profit and loss reports, occupancy rates, and other relevant financial data. Consider hiring a professional accountant or financial advisor to help with this process.
Conduct a comprehensive market analysis to understand the demand and competition in the area. Evaluate the local hospitality market, target customer segments, and potential growth opportunities.
If the hotel is branded, research the brand's reputation and the benefits it brings. A well-known brand can attract more guests, but it might come with stricter operational requirements and fees.
Inspect the physical condition of the hotel. Assess the rooms, common areas, facilities, and infrastructure. Identify any immediate maintenance or renovation needs, and estimate the associated costs.
Ensure that the hotel is compliant with all local, state, and national regulations, including zoning laws, health and safety codes, and licensing requirements. Verify that there are no legal disputes or outstanding violations.
Understand the existing staff structure, their skills, and employment agreements. Determine if you will retain the current staff or bring in new management. Experienced staff can contribute to a smoother transition.
Analyze the various revenue streams of the hotel, including room rates, restaurant and bar sales, event spaces, and other amenities. Identify opportunities to increase revenue and manage costs effectively.
Research current and projected market trends in the hospitality industry. Consider how the hotel can adapt to these trends and take advantage of potential growth opportunities.
Explore your financing options, schedule a free consultation with wedoSBAloans.com. Determine how much capital you need and how you'll manage the financial aspects of the purchase.
Negotiate a due diligence period in the purchase agreement. This allows you to thoroughly investigate the hotel's operations, financials, and legal matters before finalizing the deal.
Develop a comprehensive business plan outlining your strategies for improving the hotel's operations, marketing, and profitability after the purchase.
Create a plan for a smooth transition of ownership. Communicate with the existing staff, guests, and suppliers to minimize disruptions during the changeover.
Consider seeking advice from legal, financial, and real estate professionals experienced in hotel acquisitions. They can help you navigate complex contracts, negotiations, and regulatory matters.
