Hospitality loans for a refinance generally size to a 10-10.5% Debt Yield (NOI / Loan Amount) for maximum proceeds depending on the quality of the asset an dif there's any capital improvement you're planning on using the proceeds for. Standard underwriting assumptions of of 1.25x DSCR (on 30-year amortization) remain, along with a 4% FF&E Reserve and a standard 3-3.5% Management Fee depending on the Hotel's operator. Additional metrics Lenders may take include adjustments to Sales & Marketing, G&A, etc.

If you're talking construction, you'd be looking at 60-65% LTC (maybe 75% depending on the Sponsor's history with the lender, history as a developer, or the size of their balance sheet) with a 3+1+1 term (3-year loan with 2 one-year extensions). Most lenders won't allow you to take the cash flow either after C of O, so that's going to be your best time to refinance, usually 12 months after opening underwriting to your Year 3 stabilized NOI.

Rates for Hotels right now we're seeing 150-250 bps. above the 10-year swap rate (for a securitized refinance) which is an all-in rate of ~3% to 4% -- crazy time we're in now! For Construction loans, most (80-90%) will be priced over LIBOR with a credit spread of 400-700 bps. depending on the quality of the asset, frothiness of the market, and the lender's risk appetite within their portfolio. That brings you to an all-in rate of ~6% to 9%. Fees on those loans will also be 1% origination fee, .50% exit fee, with anywhere from .25% to .50% extension fees.

 

I agree with a lot of what you said but would add some comments/caveats:

  • 1.25x DSCR might be a little aggressive as hotels can be volatile.
  • Above 60-65% LTC and you're likely looking at mezz or debt funds to get you to ~75% LTC
  • I'm not sure what you mean by "most lenders won't allow you to take the cash flow either after C of O". If there is cash flow before the lender's expected stabilization date then they probably won't sweep the cash.
  • That pricing feels a little steep.
  • Not all lenders charge exit fees, but the origination fee sounds about right. Those extension fees also sound a little steep.
 

This was very helpful thanks!

I can’t wrap my head around swap rates. Why would a borrower want this? Isn’t this a lot of risk if we were to be in a rising interest rate environment? What are the pros/cons?

Why not a fixed rate? Thanks!

 

In addition to umioryi60 's killer response, I would also add that data points are best found from HVS and Trepp.
