Selling a hotel / hospitality loan

Hospitality loans are priced to the operating business as much as the real estate — occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, brand, and management. Lenders resolve impaired hotel credits through a note sale or discounted payoff to a buyer who can underwrite the going concern, rather than operating a hotel through a foreclosure.

Context

What makes hospitality different

A hotel is an operating business, not just a building. That cuts both ways: performance can recover quickly, but a lender is poorly suited to own and operate one through a foreclosure. A buyer who can underwrite the going concern — flag, management, and cash flow — prices and resolves it far better than a forced REO operation.

Resolving a hospitality credit

Share the operating statements and status; a principal buyer prices to performance and the path to stabilize, provides proof of funds, and closes all-cash.

Common questions
How are hotel loans valued for sale?

To the operating performance — occupancy, ADR, RevPAR — plus brand and management, and the cost and time to stabilize, not just the real estate.

Why not just foreclose on a hotel?

Because the lender then must operate a hospitality business through the process — staffing, brand standards, bookings — which is costly and outside a lender's expertise. A note sale transfers that to a buyer who can run it.

Do you buy sub-performing hospitality loans?

Yes — directly and all-cash, $250K–$25M. Request a confidential review.
