NAVARRE, Florida — Wert-Berater, Inc., an independent feasibility study consulting firm serving lenders and government agencies since 1998, has completed a Waterfront RV Resort Feasibility Study in Navarre, Florida.

Wert-Berater served as independent feasibility consultant to the lender and CDC. Party names are withheld consistent with the confidential nature of underwriting and capital-advisory work; figures represent the project as evaluated at the study date.

Project Summary

Feasibility analysis of a 34-site waterfront RV resort at Navarre on Florida’s Emerald Coast — between Pensacola Beach and Destin in one of the Gulf’s strongest beach-tourism corridors — evaluated for SBA 504 financing. Direct water frontage positions the property at the premium end of the regional RV market.

What the Project Included

Small-site premium-rate underwriting: with only 34 sites, the revenue case rests on rate rather than volume, so the analysis benchmarked nightly and seasonal rates against the waterfront RV comparable set, modeled the Gulf Coast seasonality curve, and quantified the snowbird long-stay segment that carries shoulder-season occupancy.

Capital Structure

SBA 504 structure: senior bank first mortgage, CDC debenture, and borrower equity injection consistent with special-purpose outdoor-hospitality property requirements.

Feasibility Study Challenges

Coastal Florida underwriting starts with wind and water: flood-zone determination, named-storm insurance cost and availability, and elevation requirements bear directly on both the development budget and the operating expense load, and a 34-site property has no scale to absorb surprises — so the study’s discipline was in the expense side and the downside cases as much as the premium-rate revenue argument.
