SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Finding off-market hotel acquisition targets requires manually cross-referencing dozens of county portals, listing sites, and review platforms. This Skill automates that research funnel, scoring each property's distress signals so investors can focus outreach on the most motivated sellers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Source Property Discovery: Searches Crexi listings and Miami-Dade/Broward property appraiser records to build a complete universe of boutique hotels and motels. - Distress Signal Research: Checks tax delinquency, code violations, lis pendens, foreclosure filings, probate and divorce records, plus review ratings on Google, TripAdvisor, and Airbnb. - Quantified Distress Scoring: Assigns point values per signal with multipliers for converging distress categories, producing a ranked acquisition target report. - Use Case: An investor asks for distressed hotels in Miami Beach. The Skill compiles listings, finds a motel with 2 years of tax delinquency, 5 code violations, and a 2.3-star rating, scores it 27 points, and recommends contacting the owner directly with a quick-close offer. ## Quick Start Find distressed boutique hotels and motels in Miami-Dade and Broward County and rank them by distress score in an acquisition report.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find distressed hotels for sale in Miami?

Search Crexi hotel and motel listings for Miami-Dade, then cross-reference each property against county tax collector, code violation, and foreclosure records. Properties with multiple distress signals like tax delinquency plus poor reviews are the strongest acquisition targets.

What public records indicate a motivated hotel seller?

Key indicators include tax delinquency of 2+ years, active lis pendens or foreclosure filings, probate cases after an owner's death, divorce filings involving the owner, and out-of-state or out-of-country ownership. Each signal is scored and summed into a distress rating.

How is the hotel distress score calculated?

Points are assigned per signal: foreclosure in progress scores 9, probate filings 8, ratings below 2.0 stars 7, and so on. Scores are summed, then multiplied by 1.25x for 3+ distress categories or 1.5x when financial and operational distress combine.

Does this work for counties outside Miami-Dade and Broward?

The reference guides and portal URLs are specific to Miami-Dade and Broward County, Florida. The methodology generalizes to other counties, but you would need to substitute the local property appraiser, tax collector, and clerk of court portals.

Why can't I access Crexi listings without logging in?

Crexi has no public search API and requires an authenticated session for full listing details. The Skill uses Chrome browser tools with the user's logged-in Crexi session to navigate search URLs and capture listing data.
