Executive Summary
Refinance of Veritex Bank Loan - $7,400,000 at 6.00% / 25-Year Amortization

THM is refinancing a 2018-built Holiday Inn Express at a critical inflection point: TTM NOI has surged 36% to $776K on just $138K of additional revenue, Q1 2026 revenue is up 17.3% year-over-year, and a quantified operating improvement plan identifies $378-658K of additional annual savings. This is the same owner-operator playbook that delivered a 66% NOI improvement on the companion HOURP asset in Year 1.

This credit offers a $7,400,000 first mortgage on a 127-key Holiday Inn Express & Suites at 11303 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77077, refinancing the existing Veritex Bank bridge loan at the 7.5% rate ceiling. The refi alone generates $84K/year in debt service savings before any operational improvement.

Portfolio Relationship. This loan is part of a two-asset, $25.65M refinancing package alongside SpringHill Suites Houston Medical Center (HOURP, $18.25M, 1.61x DSCR). Same operator, overlapping guarantors, combined 1.57x DSCR. One underwrite, two assets, brand and submarket diversification.

The Asset. Built in 2018, this is a 7.5-year-old property with modern building systems, no deferred maintenance, and 30+ years of remaining useful life. At $130K/key replacement cost, the $16.5M replacement value means the lender's $7.4M loan sits at 44.8% of replacement cost. This is also a hard corner on Westheimer Road, one of Houston's highest-traffic commercial corridors.

This opportunity is being presented alongside the companion HOURP asset to a select group of relationship lenders.

REPLACEMENT COST: $16.5M | 44.8% LOAN COVERAGE

2018 new-construction, 127-key IHG property on a hard corner of Westheimer Road. Replacement cost at $130K/key: $16.5 million. At $7.4M loan, collateral covers 225% of loan proceeds on replacement basis. Hard corner land in the Westchase corridor commands premium valuations, providing additional downside protection independent of hotel operations.

Texas Hotel Management
Owner-Operator Since 1990 | 15 Hotels | Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, IHG

Owner-Operator Model. Texas Hotel Management was founded in 1990 by Salim Ismail, an engineer who built 6 hotels from the ground up. THM owns and operates 15 hotels / 1,804 keys across Houston, Dallas, and Bryan-College Station under Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, and IHG flags. THM manages only the assets it owns. The firm has routinely declined third-party management requests to focus operational capacity on its owned portfolio, eliminating the principal-agent misalignment that plagues fee-managed hotels.

Precedent Closings. THM's most recent community-bank hotel refinancing closed at a fixed 6.00% rate on a comparable Hilton-flag extended-stay asset. Active relationships with multiple community and regional banks provide confidence in execution at or near this rate.

Management Fee Commitment. THM self-manages and normally charges 5%. On HOUUS, THM has been taking a reduced fee (~1.3% TTM) to strengthen cash flow during the refinancing period. THM is prepared to subordinate or waive the management fee for the term of the loan.

PROOF CASE: THE HOURP TURNAROUND (COMPANION ASSET)

THM assumed operations of SpringHill Suites Houston Medical Center on December 26, 2024 from Concord Hospitality. In a normalizing Houston market (-3.8% YoY), THM grew adjusted NOI 34% through expense discipline alone. Revenue grew 9% but NOI grew 66%. DSCR moved from sub-1.0x under the prior operator to 1.70x under THM. The same playbook is now executing on HOUUS, where TTM NOI margin has already expanded from 19.6% to 25.5%.

Demand Drivers

Westchase District

Major corporate office market with 21M+ sq ft of commercial space. Fortune 500 energy, engineering, and professional services tenants generate consistent midweek corporate travel demand year-round.

Energy Corridor Adjacency

Captures spillover from Houston's Energy Corridor, one of the nation's largest concentrations of energy company headquarters. Projects and shutdowns drive extended-stay demand.

Retail & Dining Density

Westheimer / Beltway 8 intersection provides high-visibility positioning with extensive dining, retail, and entertainment options that enhance guest experience vs. isolated competitors.

No New Competitive Supply

No select-service hotel supply under construction in the immediate competitive set. Land costs and construction costs create a natural barrier to new entry in this mature submarket.

Why 2018 New Construction Matters

Unlike older assets requiring renovation capital (the companion HOURP property was built in 1985), HOUUS has modern building systems, current-generation room product, and no structural capex risk. Remaining IHG PIP is ~$600K, largely funded from the $350K VB DSCR reserve already in place. Net out-of-pocket PIP cost: ~$250K. For the lender, this is the simpler collateral story in the two-asset package.

22 Identified Actions | $378-658K/yr Recurring Savings | No Employee Pay Cuts

NOI TRAJECTORY: $776K TODAY TO $820-950K BY 2027

THM has completed a forensic P&L analysis identifying 22 discrete savings actions across three phases. These are not aspirational projections. They are quantified, assigned to specific owners, and timed. The conservative midpoint alone takes NOI from $776K to $820K+ and DSCR from 1.36x to 1.43x. Full execution targets NOI of $950K and DSCR of 1.66x.

THE FIVE MUST-HIT ITEMS (ALONE CLOSE THE GAP)

Property tax protest ($30-62K) + insurance re-shop ($30-55K) + bookkeeping cleanup ($72-108K) + CC processor ($18-35K) + F&B menu ($25-45K). Midpoint: $175-305K/yr. This ALONE takes NOI from $776K to $951-1,081K (31-35% margin) and DSCR to 1.66-1.89x. The improvement plan is not aspirational. It is arithmetic.

SIMULTANEOUS CLOSE ADVANTAGE

One lender, one underwriting process, one legal team, one guarantor package. The lender underwrites two assets in a single engagement, reducing cost and time for both parties. Combined $25.65M relationship with 1.57x portfolio DSCR.

Why This Credit Works
1. Modern Collateral
2018 new construction on a hard corner of Westheimer Road. No deferred maintenance, no structural capex. Replacement cost LTV of 44.8% provides exceptional downside protection.
2. Accelerating Performance
Q1 2026 revenue +17.3% YoY. TTM NOI margin expanded 5.9 points (19.6% to 25.5%). All three STR indices above 100. The property is outperforming its compset and improving every quarter.
3. Proven Operator
THM delivered +66% NOI improvement on the companion HOURP asset in Year 1. The same playbook is executing on HOUUS with the same discipline. 15-hotel, 1,804-key portfolio with zero defaults.
4. Quantified Upside
22 identified improvement actions with $378-658K/yr of recurring savings. The refi itself generates $84K/yr in debt service savings on day one. Conservative projected DSCR of 1.43x.
5. Portfolio Relationship
$25.65M combined loan, 317 keys, two brands (Marriott + IHG), two submarkets, 1.57x combined DSCR. One underwrite gives the lender a diversified, operator-managed portfolio relationship.
6. Favorable Rate Environment
Moving from VB's 7.50% ceiling to 6.00% creates immediate value. THM's most recent community-bank closing was at 6.00% on a comparable asset. The precedent is established.
