I am in charge of a regional mortgage branch office licensed in 48 states am have a licensed mortgage originator colleague who has a potential client who has an investor who owns a hotel/motel in Texas. My MLO colleague has a client who needs to do a rate and term refinance on a commercial loan. I am a licensed NMLS licensed mortgage loan originator and have owned, and managed 3,000 plus residential units consisting of free standing apartment buildings and seven apartment complexes and am familiar with originating mutli-family commercial loans. but not motels and/or hotels. My expertise on commercial loans are free standing apartment buildings and apartment complexes. My associate reached out to me for advise and guidance on him taking on financing this motel-hotel for this investor. Can you please guide and advise us on the steps on proceeding with this borrower? The investor/borrower will be getting multiple quotes from commercial lenders so me and my fellow loan officer would like to get the borrower the best rate and term and become the winning bid on this motel financing commercial loan. Can you guide us through a Step by step process starting on the documentation needed? I worked on my own commercial loans on the apartment buildings and apartment complexes that needed financing and the general docs commercial banks and brokers needed were the following:
Summary Statement of the history of the property owned including but n ot limited to the history of the property and scope of work such as the purchase price, loan-to-value, renovations completed and/or budget and capital required, type of loan requesting includoing recourse or non-recourse, personal financial statenent, schedule of real estate owned, profit and loss statement, nearby comparable sales, and any documentation or data supporting the strength and risk tolerance of the subject property. I am assuming motel-hotel financing probably requires similar data and documents. Again, if you can guide us through the comprehensive step of the commerical lending process from start to finish as well as commercial lenders that are broker friendly it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Please make sure all LOs have this
How to find active builders and spec builders.
one way is to
go to realtor.com, choose a large city
go to filters, click home, age no min, and less than one year. This should list the new construction homes.
get the addresses, the agent usually doesn’t want you speaking with their client, however, call the agent anyway and let them know that you can help their builder to build more homes, and sometimes they will introduce you. if not, then
do a Google search for parcel search using the city, county and state
. Usually, they have a gis map, and you can use it to locate the owner and the owner’s address, where you can further search and get a cell phone.
realtor.com is a great source to see who is building where and at what price.

When seeking financing from a commercial lender for a six-unit apartment building, you will need to provide a comprehensive set of documents and information to demonstrate your ability to manage the property and repay the loan. Here is a list of what you typically need to give to a commercial lender:
-
Business Plan: Provide a detailed business plan that outlines your investment strategy, property management approach, and financial projections. Include information about the location, market analysis, and your long-term goals for the property.
-
Loan Application: Complete the lender’s loan application form, providing personal and financial information about yourself and any co-borrowers.
-
Property Information:
- Property address and legal description
- Property photos or appraisals
- Description of the property’s condition and any planned renovations or improvements
-
Purchase Agreement: If you’re acquiring the property, include a copy of the signed purchase agreement with the seller.
-
Financial Statements:
- Personal financial statements for you and any co-borrowers
- Business financial statements if you have an existing real estate investment company
-
Rent Roll: Provide a detailed rent roll that lists the current tenants, their lease terms, rental rates, and any delinquencies. This helps the lender assess the property’s income potential.
-
Operating Expenses: Document the property’s operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance costs, and property management fees.
-
Income and Expense Projections: Create income and expense projections for the property to demonstrate its potential cash flow and profitability. Include details such as expected rent increases and expense trends.
-
Property Management Plan: Outline your property management strategy, including who will manage the property, their qualifications, and any third-party management agreements.
-
Credit Report: Expect the lender to check your credit history and the credit history of any co-borrowers.
-
Down Payment and Equity: Provide information on the down payment you plan to make and any existing equity in the property, if applicable.
-
Appraisal: Typically, the lender will require an appraisal of the property to determine its current market value.
-
Title Report: A title report is necessary to confirm that there are no outstanding liens or legal issues with the property.
-
Environmental Reports: Depending on the lender’s requirements and the property’s history, you may need to provide environmental reports, especially if there is a concern about contamination or hazardous materials on the property.
-
Legal Documents: Any legal documents related to the property, such as leases, contracts, and property surveys, may be requested.
-
Personal Guarantees: Be prepared to provide personal guarantees if the lender requires them.
-
Entity Documents: If you’re financing the property through a business entity, provide documents related to the entity’s formation, ownership structure, and financial standing.
-
Tax Returns: Personal and business tax returns for the past few years may be required for underwriting purposes.
-
Down Payment Proof: Show proof of funds for the down payment, including bank statements or other financial statements.
-
Insurance Information: Provide details about property insurance coverage and any required insurance policies.
Keep in mind that each lender may have specific requirements and may request additional documents or information. It’s essential to work closely with your lender and be prepared to provide any documentation they request during the underwriting process. Additionally, having a strong credit history, a well-thought-out business plan, and a solid financial position will enhance your chances of securing financing for the apartment building.
