…condo hotel mortgages are not

defining ‘condo hotel’

• Condo w/ Rental Program: a traditional condo with a working kitchen, over 600 sq ft, possibly with access to hotel amenities, but situated outside of the hotel. Less than 15% commercial space in the project. Financing is plentiful, easy and up to 100% for your buyers thru FNMA/FHLMC.

• Resort Condo: similar to above, a traditional condo ‘carved out’ within a mixed use resort, may participate in limited rental program, but likely to be used primarily as second home.

• Condo Hotel: typically a new construction hotel project, with suites that exceed 600 sq ft, traditional living floor plans with kitchens. Condo units are part of the nightly/transient rental business of a commercial hotel.

• Hotel Condo: typically a conversion of an existing hotel to condo ownership. Units are less than 600 sq ft, have limited kitchen/wet bar, full hotel amenities, nightly rental, entirely part of the commercial hotel operations. Limited second home use, a rental for 11+ months/yr.

• Condotel: a less than 3-star motel that has been converted to condo ownership. Yesterday’s product.

America’s First Second-Home Lender

Lender’s View of Condo Hotel/Hotel Condo• we are a developer’s best exit strategy…• buyer financing is your problem too…• a condo-tel (motel) is not a condo hotel, many lenders

do not see a difference• lenders do not use the rental income to qualify • why FHMLC/FNMA/lenders struggle to finance condo

hotel:– less than 600 sq ft– no ‘real’ kitchen– commercial percentage > 15%– less than 2 years turned over to HOA– separately metered utilities– pooled rents– commercial investment property or second home? – timeshare/fractional content– > 20% project concentration– no secondary market – yet…
