Hotel financing in Hollywood requires lenders comfortable with seasonal occupancy swings driven by snowbird traffic and spring-break surges. Most traditional banks hesitate when appraising art-deco properties along Johnson Street or older motels near the Seminole Hard Rock, because renovation costs eat into loan-to-value ratios. Zoning overlays in the Beach Community Redevelopment Area add another layer of complexity. A broker who knows which SBA-preferred lenders accept hospitality projects and which bridge lenders underwrite on trailing twelve-month revenue solves these problems faster than any single bank relationship.
Croftbrook Capital works with owners of boutique inns, extended-stay properties, and oceanfront resorts from Hallandale Beach south to Dania Beach. We match your project to the right capital stack so you spend time managing guests, not chasing loan officers.
Loan programs
SBA 7(a) loans suit hotel purchases and major renovations when you plan to occupy the property as owner-operator. Terms stretch to twenty-five years on real estate, lowering monthly debt service during off-peak months. Commercial real estate loans work for stabilized properties with two years of tax returns showing positive cash flow. Hotel bridge loans close gaps during pre-sale due diligence or fund emergency roof repairs before hurricane season. Equipment financing covers new HVAC chillers, industrial laundry lines, and point-of-sale systems without tying up operating cash. Business lines of credit smooth payroll between Memorial Day and Thanksgiving when occupancy dips.
We also broker invoice factoring for groups that book conventions at the Diplomat or Hard Rock but pay net-sixty, and working capital loans to stock linens or pre-pay liability insurance premiums.
We start by reviewing your trailing financials, occupancy reports from your property-management system, and any planned capital improvements. Then we shop your file to our network of SBA lenders, community banks with hospitality appetite, and private debt funds that understand Broward County tourism cycles. You receive term sheets in plain English with no jargon, a side-by-side comparison, and our recommendation. We coordinate the appraisal, environmental Phase I if the site sits near the Intracoastal, and closing so you meet your purchase deadline or construction schedule.
Because we are a broker, not a lender, we have no reason to push one product over another. Our job is matching your hotel's cash flow and collateral to the capital source that says yes and closes on time.
A family bought a twelve-room boutique property two blocks west of the Broadwalk. The building needed new impact windows, updated electrical, and a small pool deck to compete with newer Airbnb inventory. Traditional banks offered only sixty percent loan-to-cost because of the rehab scope. We placed an SBA 7(a) at ninety percent, paired it with a small seller note, and the project closed in forty-five days. The owners now run at eighty-percent occupancy year-round and recently added a rooftop bar that draws locals from Davie and Plantation on weekends.
