Hotel & Motel Financing

Riverside Park Capital finances flagged and independent hotels and motels from $500,000 to $10,000,000 in the Top 200 U.S. MSAs. Permanent and bridge programs go up to 75% LTV with unlimited cash-out on qualifying refinances — sponsors are not capped on cash-back proceeds when underwriting supports the leverage.
