Hotel Distress

Distress becomes public too late

By the time a hotel's distress is public, the opportunity is mostly gone. The early signs sit in scattered public records that reward whoever reads them first and systematically: liens, tax delinquencies, court filings, license lapses, deferred-maintenance patterns.

The same facts, the same score, every time

Hotel Distress monitors properties continuously and turns observed, quantified measurements into a deterministic score with a plain recommendation: pursue the acquisition, monitor the situation, or reject it now. Deterministic matters: the same facts always produce the same score, so an investment committee can audit exactly why a property surfaced.

The same engine runs in a portfolio mode for equity investors who want early warning on assets they already own, and it can be pointed at different data sources, new construction as well as operating businesses.

In backtests on historical cases, the system flagged distress months before the public announcements. That is a result from our own testing, stated as such.

Screening acquisitions in the Southeast

The system is in use for acquisition screening in the Southeast, with the scoring model tuned to hospitality but built to travel to other asset classes.
