If you're planning on borrowing over $2,000,000 to build or buy a larger hotel/motel,
interest rates may be a little better, although not much. Interest rate lows can be more favorable by up to a half percentage point, while to current ceiling is still hovering around 8%. With a larger hotel loan comes a longer loan term, usually 20 to 25 years. One boon of a larger loan is that most institutions offer limited recourse in
event of a default.
Meeting hotel loan requirements can be difficult, after all, this is unlike any other kind of real estate loan and as such has its own rules, terms, and procedures. If you think
hospitality business may be for you, make sure you choose a lender who will take
type to answer questions to your satisfaction. With how
market is these days, there are plenty of lenders out there competing for your business. Take your time and choose carefully from
