What is your advice for borrowers today?

“Our advice to borrowers in today’s financing environment is that you need to work with a hotel financing professional that can accurately present your loan package to prospective lenders and strongly make your case by thoughtfully responding to lenders’ questions and comments throughout the loan process. Secondly, borrowers must be as transparent as possible with their hotel financing professional and lender so that your current and future financing needs are clearly understood. In the end, this will ensure that the lender designs a financing strategy that delivers on all your expectations and your funding is a success.”
