Go on?

Their web site isn`t working. Looks like they didn`t pay the dues.

It seems to be working now. So what is the CRT discount above the 25% discount for a week or more paying cash?

A Travel Channel show in which hotels are taken over and "fixed" by a team--can be fun. And yeah, The Castillo could benefit from their tough love--funky charm only goes so far...: http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/hotel-impossible

Stayed there one night and checked out the next morning. Two full beds, one in which the mattress was completely blown out. It was a nice size room(in the old part) with the key safe in a corner on the floor. The television was about 20 years old with a fuzzy picture and there was no A/C. The new rooms looked a lot better. And the room key was too big

Unfortunately, the owner reinvest zero into the property. Zero. It's been for sale for over 4 years. 1.5 million

Sales Office and owner being in placid Granada, Nicaragua tells me something. Hands-off, indifferent mgmt? Desperation/disgust sale? Anyway, for the right guy or group, this is a good opportunity...at least on the surface. Due diligence on the ownership/physicalities/other legalities on the property, of course. Assumption by the new owner of existing transferring debt to suppliers or anybody else? What did I not think of?

Asking price of $1.4M seems high, but admittedly I know little about the actual land value there.

The price has to be a combination of the asset value + the business value to justify it. You'd want to know the full maintenance history of the property: roofs, HVAC, water, etc. Get a GOOD commercial building inspection that lists every possible defect because you as the new owner will be responsible for it all.

As for the value of the business: 22 rooms x 360 days per year x avg nightly rate of $60 = roughly $500K in total possible annual room revenue if it's 100% booked all the time. Lets say its 80% occupancy on average so that's $400K in room revenue.

Then you have your bar and misc revenue - call it another $100K.

The profit margin on a $500K hotel (before paying the owner) might be $100K if there is no rent and payroll is under control. Even at 5x Cash Flow that's a $500K valuation on the business itself.

Therefore, the value of the land and property would have to be $900K. Thoughts?

(corrected my math)

Bro MuffinMuncher ran it down quite well. The difference between the asking price and his astute valuation could possibly be written off as that unknowable intangible "goodwill". Hotel Castillo got 1/2 million of that?

At least spell it with a capital "F"--that I could accept. "You Fool" had a place in medieval courts, speaking truth to power in a jocular way.
