Blackburn Capital Partners sources distressed and off-market hotels across the Sun Belt Coastal Crescent — connecting motivated sellers to a private network of conversion operators and accredited investors. Quietly. Directly. Off-market.
We operate a private two-sided marketplace connecting distressed hotel owners with qualified conversion operators and accredited investors across the Southeast United States.
If you own a distressed, aging, or underperforming hotel and you want a quiet, fast, no-commission exit — we want to hear from you. No broker. No MLS listing. No strangers walking through your property.
We originate proprietary off-market hotel acquisitions across the Sun Belt Coastal Crescent and present them exclusively to our private network of conversion operators and accredited investors before anyone else sees them.
Blackburn Capital Partners is led by Jim Blackburn — a Fort Lauderdale based commercial capital markets professional with seven consecutive years as a Scotsman Guide Top 1% producer. Behind him stands a family enterprise and an experienced team of attorneys, CPAs, asset managers, and construction professionals built specifically for the Sun Belt hotel acquisition thesis.
We started Blackburn Capital Partners with one thesis: the most valuable real estate in any deal is the deal itself. Most distressed hotels never reach a broker. Most conversion opportunities never reach the right operator. We sit in the middle — finding what others miss and delivering it to the people who can act.
We are not a fund. We do not run a six-percent listing service. We are a capital markets team with a private network and the discipline to find deals nobody else is looking for.
We operate exclusively along the Southeast coastal corridor — from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi through Florida and up the Atlantic shore to coastal North Carolina. Six states. One focused thesis.
We share off-market hotel acquisition opportunities exclusively with our private network. Access is by application only. Tell us who you are and what you're looking for.
This is not a public offering. All opportunities are presented exclusively to qualified accredited investors and conversion operators. Blackburn Capital Partners · Fort Lauderdale, FL · blackburn.capital
