The Small Hotel Underwriting Template
What a property can earn, what it is worth, and whether the loan pencils. Type over the seller's trailing twelve months, build your own year-one case next to it, and the Sensitivity tab shows what happens to debt coverage if your rate or occupancy assumption is off by ten percent. For 8 to 75 keys.
