The Capital Stack: PIP Timing is a Key Variable in Hotel Financing
🏠 Heading into 2026, hoteliers must synchronize Property Improvement Plan (PIP) timing with lenders to avoid transaction roadblocks. Lenders view PIPs as essential, non-optional obligations. Near-term PIPs (within 24 months) require more equity and reserves, while PIPs in the 24–36 month range face stricter cash flow and liquidity requirements. For refinances with PIPs beyond loan maturity, lenders adjust their exit strategies. Owners should integrate PIPs into their business plans for better financing outcomes and leverage.
