Por qué los prestamistas exigen cartas de garantía para la financiación de hoteles de marca
Invertir en un hotel de franquicia puede ser una buena manera de diversificar su cartera y lograr retornos sólidos durante un período prolongado. Encontrar las opciones de financiación hotelera adecuadas puede hacer que esta adquisición sea aún más rentable. Las cartas de garantía están diseñadas para proporcionar un marco legal para que los prestamistas y franquiciadores gestionen situaciones en las que el comprador del hotel no paga el préstamo. Estos son algunos datos que todo inversor debe conocer cartas de consuelo.
¿Qué son las cartas de consuelo?
Las cartas de garantía son documentos que permiten a los prestamistas: asumir los derechos de franquicia si el franquiciado original no paga el préstamo. Estas cartas incluyen disposiciones que garantizan que los prestamistas puedan seguir operando el hotel en caso de incumplimiento o ejecución hipotecaria de los préstamos hoteleros de la franquicia.
Beneficios de las cartas de consuelo
Las cartas de garantía ofrecen varios beneficios para todas las partes involucradas en la transacción, incluidos los siguientes:
- Es más probable que los prestatarios encuentren los acuerdos de préstamo hotelero más atractivos si los prestamistas tienen una mayor certeza de que podrán recuperar su inversión incluso si el prestatario no cumple con sus obligaciones. Esto puede mejorar las condiciones de estos préstamos y facilitar la obtención del financiamiento necesario para adquirir propiedades de franquicia.
- Los prestamistas pueden garantizar sus préstamos de manera más eficaz al garantizar la capacidad de mantener la rentabilidad de las propiedades que financian.
- Las compañías de franquicias pueden proteger su marca al continuar con sus operaciones y mantener una presencia incluso cuando los franquiciados no cumplen con sus obligaciones financieras y no pagan sus préstamos hoteleros.
Muchos prestamistas exigen cartas de garantía antes de finalizar los préstamos para propiedades hoteleras franquiciadas.
Creado por la empresa de franquicias
En la mayoría de los casos, la carta de garantía es redactada por la compañía franquiciadora como parte del proceso de franquicia. Estos documentos legales pueden seguir una plantilla estandarizada o pueden personalizarse para adaptarse a las necesidades del prestatario y del prestamista. El contenido de la carta puede incluir algunas o todas las siguientes disposiciones:
- Disposición que garantiza la capacidad del prestamista de designar a un administrador judicial para que opere el hotel durante un breve período de tiempo durante el proceso de ejecución hipotecaria.
- Cláusula que permite al prestamista subsanar cualquier incumplimiento del contrato de franquicia antes de que se rescinda.
- Una disposición que permite la reventa de la propiedad y la transferencia del contrato de franquicia a un tercero si el hotel entra en mora.
Estas disposiciones están diseñadas para proteger al prestamista si el préstamo de financiación hotelera entra en mora.

Commercial Mortgage Alert: Peachtree Group Backs Multifamily Project
This article is republished with permission from Green Street News.

The developer of an apartment complex in northwest Washington state has lined up $57.5 million of senior debt from Peachtree Group, including $29 million of commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing.
Grandview North is on track to complete the 350-unit Harrington Place, in Ferndale, by January 2026. Atlanta-based Peachtree funded $13 million of the debt at closing on Jan. 28.
The fixed-rate C-PACE loan has a 30-year term. The rest of the senior financing package, brokered by CapNorth, was structured as a $28.5 million, floating-rate construction loan with an initial term of 18 months, plus extension options.
As part of the deal, the term of an outstanding $20 million mezzanine loan from Hickory CRE Lending was adjusted to match that of the Peachtree floater. The project is expected to cost $90 million, which pegs the overall loan-to-cost ratio at roughly 86%.
New York-based Hickory originated its fully funded subordinate loan as part of a $77 million debt package that Arlington, Wash.-based Grandview lined up in April 2023. The package also included a $57 million senior-debt commitment from Bayview Asset Management of Coral Gables, Fla. Bayview’s portion, which never funded because construction was postponed due to permitting delays, was split between a $45 million construction loan from its Oceanview Life and Annuity affiliate and $12 million of C-PACE financing from its Bayview PACE unit.
Developers can use C-PACE loans, which are repaid via assessments collected with property taxes, to help finance commercial buildings that meet certain standards for energy efficiency and sustainability. For its part, Peachtree offers borrowers debt throughout the capital stack by providing such financing in conjunction with traditional construction and bridge loans, president Daniel Siegel said.
Harrington Place will comprise 11 buildings on an 18-acre site that Grandview has owned since late 2020. The 101 studios and 150 one-bedroom, 63 two-bedroom and 36 three-bedroom units will have quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances and full-size washer/dryers.
Amenities will include fitness, game and party rooms, a lounge, a playground, indoor and outdoor athletic courts, and a patio with grills. The property is at 6276 Portal Way, a half-mile west of the Nooksack River and 10 miles northwest of Bellingham, a growing city between Vancouver, Canada, to the north and Seattle to the south.


Peachtree Group Exceeds $1.0 Billion in Commercial Real Estate Originations

ATLANTA (Oct. 14, 2024) – Peachtree Group ("Peachtree") announced that its credit team has surpassed $1 billion in loan originations year-to-date, marking a major milestone and setting a new benchmark for the firm's performance this early in the year. The firm anticipates that its credit team will surpass $1.75 billion in loan originations in 2024.
“While the Federal Reserve has lowered rates to provide some relief to the overall economy, the commercial real estate sector will continue to face significant headwinds over the next few years,” said Jared Schlosser, executive vice president of hotel lending and head of CPACE for Peachtree.

The wave of debt maturities in the trillions of dollars positions private credit lenders like Peachtree to step in and close the funding gap left by traditional capital sources.
“With conventional lenders still on the sidelines, we have seen a significant shift in capital markets with private credit lenders supporting the industry as it faces a sharp rise in debt maturities potentially approaching $1.5 trillion through 2025,” Schlosser said.
Peachtree is ranked as the seventh-largest U.S. commercial real estate investor-driven lender by the Mortgage Bankers Association in its latest loan origination rankings.
As a direct lender in the commercial real estate space, Peachtree offers a wide range of financing solutions, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, CPACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing and preferred equity investments across all commercial real estate sectors.
Hotels represented the largest sector and surpassed $639 million in credit transactions year-to-date, marking a 176% increase compared to the same period last year. Multifamily originations are the next most significant sector, with the two asset classes accounting for 80% of all credit transactions.
Notable credit transactions closed this year:
· $47.0 million first mortgage loan for a multifamily property in Bradenton, Fla.
· $41.9 million first mortgage loan for a Kimpton Sylvan hotel in Atlanta, Ga.
· $40.0 million CPACE financing for an AC hotel in San Diego, Calif.
· $38.5 million first mortgage loan for a multifamily property in Miami, Fla.
· $26.4 million first mortgage loan for a Hampton Inn in Columbus, Ohio
“Peachtree has built a strong financial foundation over the years, giving it the stability to support commercial real estate owners in securing the funding needed for acquisitions, recapitalizations and development projects,” Schlosser concluded.
