Condo Hotels
Condo Hotels (condotels) provide an excellent Lifestyle!
No other form of residential real-estate has the hotel’s voluntary rental program. Providing owners effort free income that compensates for many of the fixed costs of ownership (maintenance, property taxes, & insurance).
The hotel doesn’t manage the rental of the units for free; net commissions vary and are most often 35% and on a net to owner, range from highs of 80% to lows 15% of gross rentals.
Condo Hotels are a hybrid of both residential & commercial real estate and can appreciate & depreciate with the same market factors that effect hotel values and residential condominium value's.
Not sure if a condo hotel is for you? Please visit http://www.arnowitzpropeties.com/ or contact us @ ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com for more information.
