Grow your hotel advisory firm

Add CAM reviews for clients with leased hospitality sites.

By Angel Campa, FounderUpdated July 15, 2026

CAMAudit builds the report and dispute letter draft. Your team reviews and signs each one.

Grow your hotel advisory firm

Add CAM reviews only for leased hotel sites.

Start with the contract, not the property type.

A hotel contract guide maps these deals. A lease puts risk on the tenant. An HMA lets a manager run the owner's hotel.

That split keeps your service honest. It also keeps owned hotel costs outside CAM work.

See the Practice Growth hub for other firm paths.

Screen the property first

A hotel name tells you very little. The signed contracts tell you who owes each charge.

An ABA hotel guide explains this split. Property, owner, brand, and manager roles may use separate contracts.

Your intake should name each entity and contract. Then route each charge to the right reviewer.

Start with the leased property fit screen. It rejects owned property and HMA work early.

Control the portfolio queue

Mixed hotel groups need a site level queue.

One group may lease a hotel site. It may own another hotel. It may lease a spa or shop.

Only lease based CAM files enter the CAM queue.

The hotel CAM queue tracks each fit site. It tracks contracts, files, dates, and review owners.

The queue keeps each site and lease year apart. It also makes missing proof easy to see.

Map ground lease charges

Ground leases need their own charge map.

Ground rent is not ordinary CAM. Percentage rent also needs its own contract test.

Taxes, insurance, power, and shared costs may differ. The signed ground lease controls those duties.

The ground lease CAM map sorts each charge. It keeps CAM apart from deal and legal work.

Route HMA fees elsewhere

An HMA fee is not a landlord CAM charge.

HMA fees come from the HMA. CAM charges arise from a lease and landlord statement.

The HMA versus CAM tree routes each fee. It may end with no CAM work.

That is a sound client answer. It prevents the wrong review and the wrong promise.

Browse the specialty advisor hub. It has more focused service guides.

Where CAMAudit fits

CAMAudit fits the lease CAM branch only. It is not hotel accounting or asset work.

It can flag items from supplied lease and CAM files. It can build a branded CAM audit for your firm.

Your firm reviews and signs the work. Your firm then delivers it under your brand.

CAMAudit may prepare a dispute letter draft. The draft is not legal advice. Have counsel review it before sending.

Use the service line guide to shape your offer.
