Non-Recourse / Future Funding Facility / Interest-Only / Flexible Loan Structures

DH arranges short to medium term capital for acquisitions and recapitalizations of existing assets. Ideal for transitional, non-stabilized assets with a value-add component or situations where a quick closing with surety of execution is needed. Bridge loans typically include, but are not limited to, opportunistic investment transactions for mispriced assets with substantial upside through turnaround situations, discounted payoff and discounted note acquisitions.

Non-Recourse / Up-To 80% LTV / 5, 7, 10 Year Term / Interest-Only Available

DH long-standing lender relationships provide non-recourse financing for the acquisition and refinance of hotel properties. We facilitate customized loan structures with low interest rates, longer amortization periods and flexibility. These hotel financing options are designed for cash-flowing and stabilized hotel properties in primary, secondary and tertiary markets. All hotel franchises are considered.

Non-Recourse / Up-To 80% LTV / 5, 7, 10 Year Term / Interest-Only Available

DH arranges mezzanine debt to give a sponsor greater proceeds and go higher on the capital stack (LTV) than what senior conventional debt would allow. Mezzanine loans are typically secured by second liens on real estate or by partnership and limited liability company interests. They are ideal for opportunistic purchases to minimize the direct common equity required, recapitalizations, financing PIPs and refinances where the principal amount currently owed is higher than what senior debt loan commitments can be obtained. Pricing of these financing vehicles varies and is based on the risk associated with the transaction. Our experienced team can navigate you through the mezzanine financing process and provide you with a customized solution for your next hotel project

DH works together with specialized lenders and opportunity funds that provide investors with preferred equity. In situations where certain lenders prohibit mezzanine debt to lever a property, an equity position can be beneficial to reach an LTV ratio of >90%.
