GBank record and a borrower's study

GBank counts 839 loans in the Hotel and motel class. GBank study needs renovation reserves. For 839 Hotel and motel loans, room supply nearby stays open. GBank history says nothing on rate and occupancy. GBank counts 29 loans in the Gas station and truck stop class. GBank study needs fuel margin. 29 Gas station and truck stop loans do not settle lot environment. GBank total of $2.88 billion says nothing about any one site. GBank also has 188 loans in no tracked class. GBank: the project must carry the case. For 169 GBank loans in North Carolina, local evidence still decides. GBank: ask directly what it needs to see. GBank shows 1,128 loans, not demand at any one site. GBank: competing supply near the site matters most. GBank study: written support behind each revenue figure. GBank request: build cost quoted, not assumed. GBank request: coverage holds on cautious revenue.Valuing the property is a separate task from reading the GBank record. GBank study needs a downside case in writing. GBank: assumptions stated, coverage tested, value supported. GBank carries $2.88 billion in gross approvals on 1,128 loans. GBank equity belongs in the study.

GBank cancellation floors stop at FY2024 approvals. GBank totals add FY2025 and FY2026 approvals. The GBank cohort holds 370 loans, disbursed FY2017 to FY2021. GBank figures describe loans held, not lender practices. GBank history of 1,128 loans promises nothing to a new borrower. For GBank, a withheld value is never a zero.

SBA loans held by GBank

SBA guarantees these loans; the lender does not. The lender's name and every figure come from the U.S. Small Business Administration's public 7(a) and 504 FOIA file (data.sba.gov).

7(a) lender is the bank or lender the loan is currently assigned to (or last held it), as SBA records it; 504 lender is the Certified Development Company (CDC). 504 third-party (first-lien) lenders are free text with no identifier and are not credited.

Cancellation and charge-off

Both rates are floors. SBA withholds the status of open loans, so a loan counts as charged off only once SBA reports it; a rate needs at least 30 loans in its cohort and is otherwise not reported.
