How Midas Helps

We assess SBA eligibility early, match you with active SBA hotel lenders, and guide document preparation to reduce processing delays.

Midas Financials is a broker/advisor, not a direct lender. Financing is subject to lender approval. Terms depend on borrower strength, property performance, and market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I pursue SBA or conventional financing?
SBA 504/7(a) programs can offer favorable terms for owner-occupied or qualifying hotel deals but involve additional requirements and timelines. Conventional lenders may move faster but often require stronger DSCR and larger equity. We help compare options.
How long does commercial financing typically take?
Timelines vary by loan type and lender. Bridge loans may close in 30–60 days; conventional and SBA hotel loans often require 60–120+ days. We provide realistic timeline guidance based on your deal structure and lender requirements.
What documents will I need to submit?
Common requirements include personal financial statements, entity documents, trailing 12-month operating statements, STR reports (for hotels), rent rolls, leases, and a purchase contract or refinance payoff statement. We provide a tailored checklist for your deal.
