How Can You Sell Your Hotel But Keep Your Hotel?
There is a way, under a sale-leaseback agreement, popular in Europe’s hospitality scene, the seller of a hotel becomes a lessee to a new owner, maintaining a brand flag and management agreement but avoiding certain economic risks and alleviating concerns over potential oversupply in top markets. A hotel sale leaseback is an ideal alternative method to conventional financing by converting equity into cash and providing tax advantages.
Why ZEL Clients Are Exploring Hotel Sale Leaseback Financing
- Investors wish to exit asset; management desires to continue to operate the cash flowing business.
- Extracting dormant equity out of the real estate for continued growth and expansion.
- Sale leasebacks much greater than traditional financing. In some cases, 82% to 100%.
- Going “Asset Light”.
- To acquire a larger portfolio to expand management platform.
- Seeking relief with taxable events.
What Are The Advantages Of A Hotel Sale-Leaseback?
It’s a Win-Win
While sale-leaseback transactions may be structured in a variety of ways, a basic sale-leaseback can benefit both the seller/lessee and the buyer/lessor.
For Sellers: Create capital from real estate using a financial structure that meets both short term and long term needs. We obtain aggressive cap rates and new construction financing for you. Sale-leasebacks are a good strategy for certain hotel developers who want to cash out early. The buyout is at 100 percent of the fair market value of the hotel.
For Buyers: ZEL Capital Partners has numerous off-market Hospitality/Hotel assets with direct control of prime triple net portfolios for investors and REITs. These deals also provide an opportunity for a buyer looking to keep a hotel’s managers in place, and to also get a return on the leasehold.
The deal, from a real estate standpoint, is relatively straightforward. The sale includes a transfer of title and then a leaseback to the existing seller as a tenant.
