    Common questions

    Can I finance a brand-required renovation?
    Yes. Lenders finance property improvement plans, often alongside a refinance or acquisition.
    Do independent hotels qualify?
    Yes, though some lenders prefer branded properties. Strong operating history helps.
    How much down payment is typical?
    It varies by lender and loan type. SBA loans generally need less down than conventional hotel loans.
