Boutique Hotel / Motel Acquisition & SBA Underwriting Model

Underwrite a hotel/motel acquisition the way an SBA lender does: RevPAR to reserved NOI, the PIP nobody prices, and the two deductions a seller P&L hides.

Description
The broker prices this motel at $75,000 a key. The bank sizes it at $52,700 a key. A lender-ready acquisition-underwriting model for buying a single independent or flagged hotel/motel (about 40-120 keys) with an SBA 7(a)/504 loan. It builds revenue from RevPAR (keys x ADR x occupancy), takes it through a USALI P&L to the NOI a bank actually lends against, prices the deal two ways, loads the brand PIP into the total project cost, and runs the DSCR gate, a RevPAR down-case and the returns.

What it does: a RevPAR revenue engine (60 keys x $95 ADR x 62% occupancy = a $58.90 RevPAR and $1.4M revenue); a USALI flow-through to a $532,000 GOP, then the two deductions a seller P&L skips - an absentee management fee (about 3.5%) and an FF&E reserve (about 4%) - that turn a $437,000 owner cash flow into a $332,000 underwritten NOI; a price bridge showing the broker per-key comp ($4,500,000) beside the bank income method ($3,163,555), the $1,336,445 overpay avoided, and the 0.93x DSCR at the broker price; the PIP shock ($360,000 of brand-mandated capex financed at closing); the DSCR true 1.28x vs naive 1.69x; a RevPAR down-case at 0.84x; and three segment profiles. 10 Excel tabs (Google-Sheets safe) plus a PDF guide. Numbers are industry-representative reference bands (STR/CoStar, HVS, CBRE, AHLA, AAHOA, BLS). Educational planning tool - not financial, lending, legal or tax advice.

This Best Practice includes
Excel model (10 tabs, 5-year, every assumption editable and highlighted, Google-Sheets compatible), a PDF guide with sources, and a README. RevPAR revenue engine, USALI P&L to GOP and NOI, the two-price bridge, the PIP, the SBA capital stack, the DSCR gate, a RevPAR down-case, the flag info block, three segment profiles, and the returns.

Further information

Underwrite a single hotel/motel acquisition the way an SBA lender will: turn a RevPAR into the reserved NOI a bank lends against, price the deal on income not a per-key comp, budget the PIP, and clear the DSCR gate.

You are buying an independent or flagged hotel/motel (about 40-120 keys) with an SBA 7(a)/504 loan and need a lender-ready model, or you are stress-testing a broker pro-forma before you make an offer.

You need a large full-service or portfolio model, a ground-up development pro-forma, or investment advice. This is an educational planning tool, not financial or legal advice.
