Hotel Acquisition Pro Forma Model

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hotel acquisition pro forma model?

A hotel acquisition pro forma model is the financial model used to underwrite the purchase of an existing hotel property. It forecasts ADR, RevPAR, occupancy, department-level expenses, renovation premium, franchise fees, and exit returns. The TILT hotel acquisition model handles full-service, limited-service, extended-stay, and boutique hotels with brand-specific reporting.

Does the model handle full-service, limited-service, extended-stay, and boutique hotels?

Yes. ADR, RevPAR, occupancy, and department-level expenses (rooms, F&B, banquet, telecom, other) are all standard. Full-service, limited-service, extended-stay, and boutique can all be modeled. Two hotel sections can run in parallel if you are modeling a campus or a brand mix.

What if the acquisition includes residential or commercial components?

TILT can upgrade the model to the mixed-use version. The same engine handles hotel plus residential plus commercial acquisitions in any combination.

Does the model handle hotel value-add and renovation scenarios?

Yes. Renovation premium on ADR or occupancy, phased ramp-up, RevPAR uplift assumptions, and refinancing for cash-out or LTV-target events are all standard. The model handles seasonality, stabilized year separately from ramp-up, and exit valuation on cap rate or NOI multiple.

Does the model handle franchise fees and management agreements?

Yes. Franchise fees as a percent of revenue or a fixed amount, management fees, base plus incentive fee structures, and brand-specific reporting all work. Hotel-specific operating expense logic is built into the model.

What if I need a feature that is not built in?

TILT can customize the model. Specific franchise structures, brand reporting, or hotel acquisition logic the standard build does not cover get added by Justin for an hourly fee.

How long until I am productive?

Most clients have their first acquisition running within an hour. Each TILT model includes up to one hour of working time with Justin in total. You can use 15 to 30 minutes before buying to test your deal structure; that time counts toward the hour. Ongoing technical support is free.
