Bed & Breakfast Loans and B & B Lenders

Bed & breakfast loans are very difficult to fund within the commercial mortgage loan industry.  Lenders tend to not like this product category as it carries a few stigmas.  For example, out of the way rural location (resort areas), lack of borrower experience (as many wish to "retire" into owning a B & B) and relatively small loan amounts.

Conventional B & B Loans

Loan to values on conventional programs for B & B's can still go as high as 75% on purchases and rate and term refinances and up to 60% on cash out refinances.  Keep in mind however that conventional programs vary widely from one lender to the next and it is not uncommon for a lender to ask for cross colaiterilize to improve their position.

• Loan to Value is up to 75% of appraised value
• Cash-out up to 60% of appraisal value
• Fixed periods from 3, 5, 7, 10 years.
• Loan amounts from $400,000 - $5,000,000

Bed and Breakfast SBA 504 and SBA 7a

The 504 and 7A loan programs, which are guaranteed through the Small Business Administration offer some of the best finance options for borrowers seeking acquisition and refinancing capital (Note that it is possible to refinance a B & B via the 7a program). The primary benefit of the 504 program is twofold, high leverage (85% LTV), long term, fixed rate financing.  The 7a program is geared towards loans under $2,000,000 and is an ideal program for B & B loans.

Note that we offer a SBA 7a thats structured as a 5 year fixed, 25 year amortization loan.
