Market Analysis & Valuation

Market analysis and valuation are essential steps for investors who want to invest in resorts and other ultra high ticket commercial real estate (CRE). Market analysis is the process of using external data sources to provide insight into customers, competitors, and the business environment of a property. Valuation is the process of estimating the fair market value of a property based on its income potential, physical condition, and market comparison. Here are some tips and tools for conducting market analysis and valuation for resorts and other ultra high ticket CRE. Market Analysis

To conduct a market analysis, you need to gather information from various sources, such as industry reports, government statistics, trade associations, online databases, and media outlets. Some of the aspects you need to consider in your market analysis are: 

Evaluation of Location

Based on its accessibility, visibility, safety, infrastructure, amenities, attractiveness, demographic, economic, social, and cultural characteristics of the area, as well as the environmental and regulatory factors that may affect the property.

Estimate the demand

In terms of its target market, customer segments, preferences, needs, behaviors, and spending patterns. You also need to consider the seasonality, trends, and growth potential of the demand.

Competition

You need to identify and analyze your direct and indirect competitors in terms of their location, size, quality, price, services, amenities, reputation, and market share. You also need to assess their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis).

Performance

You need to measure the performance of the property in terms of its occupancy rate, average daily rate (ADR), revenue per available room (RevPAR), gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR), and customer satisfaction. You also need to compare your performance with your competitors and industry benchmarks.

To conduct a market analysis, you need to gather information from various sources, such as industry reports, government statistics, trade associations, online databases, and media outlets. Valuation To conduct a valuation, you need to apply one or more methods that are suitable for your property type, purpose, and data availability. Some of the methods you can use are: Income approach

This method values a property based on its income potential. It involves projecting the future cash flows of the property and discounting them to their present value using an appropriate discount rate. The most common income approach method is the discounted cash flow (DCF) method.

Cost approach

This method values a property based on its replacement cost. It involves estimating the cost of acquiring or constructing a similar property with the same functionality and utility. The most common cost approach method is the replacement cost method.

Market approach

This method values a property based on its market comparison. It involves finding comparable properties that have been sold or listed recently in the same or similar market and adjusting their prices for differences in size, quality, location, condition, and other factors. The most common market approach methods are the public company comparables and precedent transactions methods.

Therefore, conducting market analysis and valuation for resorts and other ultra high ticket CRE can help investors make informed decisions and maximize their returns. However, investors should also be aware of the limitations and assumptions of each method and use multiple methods to cross-check their results.

Find & Negotiate Deals

Finding and negotiating deals for resorts and other ultra high ticket commercial real estate (CRE) can be a challenging and rewarding process for investors. It requires a combination of research, networking, due diligence, and persuasion skills to identify attractive opportunities, conduct thorough analysis, and secure the best terms and price. Here are some strategies and sources for finding and negotiating deals for resorts and other ultra high ticket CRE.

Finding Deals

To find deals, you need to tap into various sources of information, such as online platforms, brokers, industry events, trade publications, and personal contacts.

Online platforms

You can use online platforms to browse listings of properties for sale or lease in your desired market. You can filter your search by location, property type, size, price, and other criteria. You can also use these platforms to contact sellers or agents directly and request more information or schedule a viewing.

Brokers

You can work with brokers who specialize in resorts and other ultra high ticket CRE to access their network of sellers, buyers, and lenders. Brokers can help you find off-market deals that are not publicly advertised, as well as provide you with market insights, valuation reports, and negotiation support. However, brokers also charge fees or commissions that can reduce your profit margin.

Industry events

You can attend industry events such as conferences, trade shows, seminars, or webinars to learn about the latest trends, opportunities, and challenges in the resort and ultra high ticket CRE market. You can also network with other industry professionals, such as developers, operators, investors, lenders, consultants, and experts, and exchange leads, referrals, or contacts.

Trade publications

You can subscribe to trade publications such as Hotel Business, Hotel Management, or Commercial Property Executive to stay updated on the news, analysis, data, and trends in the resort and ultra high ticket CRE industry. You can also find advertisements or announcements of properties for sale or lease in these publications.

Personal contacts

You can leverage your personal contacts such as friends, family, colleagues, clients, or partners to find deals for resorts and other ultra high ticket CRE. You can ask them for referrals, recommendations, or introductions to potential sellers or buyers. You can also offer them incentives or rewards for helping you find deals.

Negotiating deals

To negotiate deals, you need to apply one or more methods that are suitable for your deal type, purpose, and situation. Some of the methods you can use are:

Market approach

This method involves comparing the price and terms of similar properties that have been sold or listed recently in the same or similar market. You can use this method to justify your offer or counteroffer based on market evidence. You can also use this method to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the property relative to its competitors.

Income approach

This method involves valuing the property based on its income potential. You can use this method to calculate the net operating income (NOI), capitalization rate (cap rate), cash-on-cash return (COCR), or internal rate of return (IRR) of the property. You can use these metrics to determine the maximum price you are willing to pay or accept for the property based on your desired return.

Cost approach

This method involves valuing the property based on its replacement cost. You can use this method to estimate the cost of acquiring or constructing a similar property with the same functionality and utility. You can use this cost as a reference point for your offer or counteroffer.

BATNA approach

This method involves identifying your best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA). You can use this method to establish your walk-away point or minimum acceptable outcome for the deal. You can also use this method to increase your bargaining power by showing that you have other options if the deal falls through.

Therefore, finding and negotiating deals for resorts and other ultra high ticket CRE can be a lucrative and exciting venture for investors who have the right strategies and sources. However, investors should also be aware of the risks and uncertainties involved in each deal and conduct proper due diligence before closing any transaction.
