Distressed Asset Acquisition

For two decades, we've been acquiring distressed assets at Florida foreclosure sales and tax deed auctions — both at the courthouse steps and through online platforms. This is the bone of our business and the foundation of everything we do.

Our ZoneWise.AI platform — invented by Ariel Shapira — processes county records, tax certificates, zoning data, and demographic information through a proprietary 12-stage analysis pipeline to calculate precise maximum bid amounts that protect downside while maximizing upside potential.

• Foreclosure auction bidding at courthouses across Florida
• Online tax deed sales through county platforms statewide
• Automated lien discovery across multiple county databases
• HOA foreclosure detection with senior mortgage analysis
• Tax certificate delinquency verification
• ML-powered probability scoring for auction outcomes

Property Development & Construction

Through Kenstrekt, Inc. (CGC1536232), we handle everything from minor rehab to major renovation in-house. Mariam Shapira serves as our general contractor qualifier, eliminating contractor risk, controlling timelines, and keeping margins tight.

Our construction expertise means we can accurately estimate repair costs before bidding — a critical advantage at auction where most investors rely on rough guesses that erode their profit margin.

• Complete renovation and rehab management
• Accurate pre-bid repair cost estimation
• Permit management and code compliance
• Subcontractor coordination and quality control
• Timeline management from acquisition to completion

Mid-Term Furnished Rentals

We operate professionally managed furnished rental properties targeting 30-180 day stays. Florida's Space Coast attracts defense contractors, aerospace professionals, snowbirds, and relocating families — creating consistent demand for quality mid-term housing.

Our target zip codes are selected using demographic analysis, income levels, vacancy rates, and proximity to major employers like Kennedy Space Center, L3Harris, and Northrop Grumman.

• Professionally furnished and managed units
• Targeting traveling professionals and contractors
• Optimal Space Coast locations with high demand
• Higher yields than traditional long-term rentals
• Flexible lease terms with premium positioning

ZoneWise.AI — Our Unfair Advantage

Invented and founded by Ariel Shapira, ZoneWise.AI is the AI and machine learning engine behind Everest Capital USA's success. Born from 20 years of buying distressed assets at Florida courthouses and online tax deed sales, it gives us an institutional-grade analytical edge that no amount of spreadsheets can replicate.

The platform integrates multiple data sources — county records, property appraiser data, clerk of court filings, zoning regulations, and Census demographics — into a unified decision engine purpose-built for the unique dynamics of Florida's distressed asset markets, where a single missed lien can turn a profitable deal into a six-figure loss.

• AI-powered 12-stage analysis pipeline from discovery to disposition
• Multi-source data integration: liens, titles, tax certificates, zoning
• Machine learning auction outcome predictions
• Automated risk scoring and bid recommendations
• 67-county Florida coverage with zoning intelligence
• Comprehensive one-page property reports
