    Hotel sector will receive more bank financing going forward

    Financing for hotels will pick up going forward because of the continued solid performance in the sector, increasing demand for acquisitions and the lack of lender appetite for other asset classes such as office. The biggest trend will be the reemergence of bank financing for acquisitions and refinances of performing properties. Lender appetite for the various brands is approaching saturation points in certain regional markets, particularly at the community bank level. More

    Deal of the Week: DoubleTree by Hilton in Tucson, Arizona

    This was a refinance of a leasehold interest governed by a Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET) structure, which provides 21 years of property tax abatement.

    Small-balance multifamily loans will see increased lending

    Count on plenty of available capital for small multifamily assets going forward. Over the last few months banks have come back to the market and are now competing aggressively with the agencies. Banks are targeting more permanent lending and will put out a bucket of money for small-balance deals. Regional lenders will remain active in tertiary markets, while agency lenders will continue to cater to borrowers nationwide. There will be more focus on mission-driven/affordable workforce housing — especially from the GSEs. More
