Einstein Method Step-by-Step Interrogation:
- 01
Examine Market
Submarket has 640 rooms entering supply in next 24 months. Group demand is plateauing; transient leisure is subject to extreme seasonality.
- 02
Normalize Financials
Broker OCF includes $450k in owner perks and deferred maintenance that must be capitalized into Year 1 CapEx.
- 03
Stress-Test
Housekeeping wage inflation modeled at 2% is unrealistic for Scottsdale labor market; real wage pressure compresses GOP by 420 bps.
- 04
Test Downside
At 58% occupancy trough (recession baseline), debt service coverage drops to 0.94x. Asset requires immediate debt restructuring.
- 05
Name Decision
RENEGOTIATE. Reduce purchase price by $7.2M to account for PIP requirements and real labor cost inflation.
