How often do these acquisition loans fail?
Of the 114 Hotels and Motels in Texas acquisition loans approved from FY2018 to FY2021 (the seasoned cohort, every loan at least about five years old), 1 have been charged off by the SBA, a rate of 0.9% by loan count and 0.9% by dollars. 58 have already been paid in full.
For comparison, the charge-off rate across all SBA 7(a) acquisition loans in the same cohort is 3.5%, so Hotels and Motels in Texas is 75% lower than the acquisition-loan average. Non-acquisition 7(a) loans (every other stated purpose) approved FY2018 to FY2021 charged off at 6.2%.
"Charged off" is the SBA's final loss action on a defaulted loan after collection efforts. It lags default by a year or more, which is why only older cohorts are measured. It is not the same as a delinquency rate, and loans still outstanding can still fail. See charge-off in the glossary.

Questions buyers ask
How much do SBA loans for Hotels and Motels acquisitions in Texas run?
The median SBA 7(a) loan was $2,996,500 across 268 loans (FY2018 to FY2026), with the middle half between $1,931,975 and $4,644,200. The loan excludes the buyer's equity and any seller note and may include working capital, so the price is usually higher than the loan.
Which banks finance Hotels and Motels acquisitions in Texas?
GBank (27), Open Bank (23), Global One Bank (19), First Western SBLC, LLC d/b/a Peachtree Group (17), Bank of Hope (15). Some lenders repeatedly finance this industry in this state; the counts above show which.
How often do Hotels and Motels acquisition loans fail in Texas?
0.9% of 114 seasoned loans (FY2018 to FY2021) were charged off, against 3.5% for all SBA acquisition loans.
Are franchised businesses part of Hotels and Motels acquisitions in Texas?
214 of the 268 loans (80%) involved a franchise brand, most often Best Western (23).
How much do you need down for an SBA loan to buy a hotel or motel in Texas?
The SBA requires the buyer to make an equity injection, commonly 10% of total project cost, and a lender may ask for more. The SBA file does not record injections, so the figures here are the financed portion: the median for loans to buy hotels and motels in Texas was $2,996,500, and the middle half ran $1,931,975 to $4,644,200.
How long does an SBA acquisition loan take?
For a change-of-ownership 7(a) loan, 45 to 90 days from application to close is typical. It varies by lender and by how quickly third-party reports, such as the business valuation and appraisal, come back. The SBA file records approval dates, not application dates, so this site cannot measure it. Lenders approved 76 loans to buy hotels and motels in Texas in FY2025 and FY2026.
Which banks make SBA loans for a hotel or motel in Texas?
By loan count, FY2018 to FY2026: GBank (27), Open Bank (23), Global One Bank (19), First Western SBLC, LLC d/b/a Peachtree Group (17), Bank of Hope (15). GBank made 10% of loans to buy hotels and motels in Texas. Counts show past approvals only and do not predict whether a lender will approve a particular deal.
