Program Memo

Hotel Loans for New Orleans businesses

Hotel financing in New Orleans splits along flag-vs-independent lines and ground-up-vs-acquisition lines. Flagged Scioto Mile and Pearl-area hotels are the cleanest SBA 504 candidates - strong sponsor, brand-mandated PIP, identifiable cash flow. Independent boutique properties typically pull from conventional CRE lenders and bridge financiers willing to underwrite hospitality without a brand cushion.

Common deal types: SBA 7(a) or 504 for acquisitions and PIPs, bridge-to-perm for value-add repositions, and FF&E equipment financing for refresh cycles. LTV tops out around 90% on SBA, 75% on conventional. We have routed hotel deals along the I-10 corridor and the Scioto Mile frontage; the right lender mix depends on flag, rooms count and sponsor experience.

Every Drawbridge Lending application runs through Louisiana-licensed lending partners -- one soft credit pull, side-by-side offers, no fee until close.
