California-based Liberty Mortgage Acceptance Corporation funded a $4,200,000 first mortgage on the 152-room, full-service Holiday Inn located at 2033 Ruth Street in Sulphur, Louisiana.

Liberty originated, underwrote and funded the permanent mortgage financing with a ten-year term and a fixed rate of 9.125%; amortized over twenty-five years.

The loan is part of a mortgage pool that Liberty is currently assembling for securitization according to Joe Cunningham, President and co-founder. Liberty Mortgage Acceptance Corporation makes commercial real estate loans on all types of income property on a nationwide basis.

The hotel is specifically located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Interstate Highway 10 and Ruth Street (Highway 27) in Sulphur, and has excellent visibility.

The city of Sulphur is located five miles west of the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana, approximately mid-way between New Orleans and Houston, Texas. Attractions within the area include the Delta Downs Racetrack and casinos including Players, Isle of Capri, Star and Grand Palais, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, Whiskey Chitto River, Toledo Bend Reservoir, Lake Charles, and two wildlife refuges.
