Sunbelt Hotel Financing Insights

The Sunbelt-stretching from southeastern California to Florida-has become a magnet for many investors due to its strong population growth, relative economic resilience, and generally favorable business climates. According to Moody's Analytics, the region has accounted for 80% of total U.S. population growth over the past decade, with employment growing by 20%, more than double the rate of non-Sunbelt states.^1^
