Capital for Nature-Based Experiential Lodging
Financing for short-term rentals, boutique hotels, micro resorts, and the land they stand on.
The Capital Desk
Two Paths. One Underwriting Discipline.
From a single cabin to a forty-key lodge, every deal we finance is underwritten the same way: on the real income the property can produce. That is what certainty feels like in experiential lodging.
Short-Term Rentals
Own the asset. DSCR financing up to 80% of purchase price, underwritten on daily rates and occupancy, not your tax returns.
Hospitality & Resorts
Boutique hotels, micro resorts, and land development. SBA, conventional, and bridge financing sized to the vision, flagged or unflagged.
Own the Asset. We Provide the Capital.
The best seat in short-term rentals is the owner’s. We exist to get you into it.
Short-Term Rentals
Acquire Your Own Short-Term Rental
We are unapologetically pro-ownership. A well-located, well-run short-term rental is a business, a basecamp, and one of the most tax-advantaged assets an individual investor can hold. Here is how we help you buy one.
DSCR Lending
Up to 80% on acquisitions and 75% on cash-out refinances. No personal debt-to-income ratios, no tax returns, 30-year terms, and you borrow into your own LLC. If the rental income covers the note, the deal works.
Cost Segregation & Tax Strategy
A cost segregation study reclassifies components of your property into 5, 7, and 15-year schedules, front-loading depreciation into your first years of ownership. Paired with short-term rental treatment and material participation, those deductions can work far harder than in traditional rentals. We connect you with the study; your CPA makes it official.
Investment-Grade Underwriting
We validate daily rental rates and occupancy in your market before you close, the same discipline institutions apply to commercial assets, applied to your cabin, casita, or chalet.
From Cabins to Boutique Hotels
When the vision outgrows a single roof, the capital stack grows with it.
Hospitality & Resorts
Financing Experiential Hospitality
Boutique hotel acquisitions, conversions, micro resort development, and land in the right places. Flagged or unflagged, full service to extended stay, we match the structure to the deal.
SBA 7(a)
The workhorse for owner-operated hotel and motel acquisitions up to $5 million: real estate, the operating business, renovations, and working capital in a single loan, with as little as 10 to 15 percent down.
SBA 504
Long-term, fixed-rate financing for hospitality real estate, ground-up construction, and major renovation. The 50-40-10 structure keeps roughly 10 percent down and locks your rate for up to 25 years, built for owner-operators playing the long game.
Bridge & Conventional
For repositioning plays, flag conversions, and deals that need to move faster than agency timelines: bridge debt into a stabilized refinance, sized on where the asset is going.
Larger Partnerships
Private Equity & REIT Relationships
For portfolio acquisitions, resort-scale development, and land assemblages, we work alongside private equity groups and REITs active in experiential hospitality. If your deal is bigger than a loan, we know who should see it. The same conviction runs through everything we finance: it began with our nature advocacy roots at ideallocation.org, and it is why the places we capitalize are the places worth protecting.
