Frequently Answered Financing Questions

Verified answers to common borrower and broker inquiries regarding loan sizing, guidelines, and execution.

Hospitality Underwriting

How do lenders structure debt service for oceanfront hotels in Myrtle Beach with high seasonality?

Lenders evaluate trailing 3-year multi-season cash flow, require Property Improvement Plan (PIP) reserves, and often structure seasonal debt service escrow buffers to cover winter carrying costs.

Flagged properties (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Wyndham) receive more aggressive leverage and lower interest rate spreads than independent motels.
