The Condotel Advantage - Investments for Rental Income

By: lancastersuites

Condotels are probably the fastest growth areas in the hotel industry today.

Condotels have been around for quite a while now, and have been "Hot Investment Properties In The US" for some time. Condotels that used to be available in vacation locations are now popping up all over the US thanks to the biggest names in the industry like Donald Trump as well as smaller companies who are making huge profits in less known areas. - The Condotel Advantage

What are the benefits to owning a Condotel rather than other real estate investments? There are many!

Rent Revenue: Condotel units will produce rental revenues. That revenue can partially or completely offset the costs of owning and maintaining the Vacation Home

Appreciation Potential: The best selling point of Condotels as investment property is the rate at which they appreciate. Especially when purchasing at the pre-construction stage of the project. The rate of appreciation throughout the Philippines is generally negative especially in rural areas. However, cities such as Metro Manila and Cebu see annual property appreciation rates depending upon locations between 10% to 18%. Most Condotels are located specifically in areas that have seen and continue to see high appreciation rates such as Metro Manila and Mactan, Cebu. Furthermore, it is the Condotel Properties that are seeing higher appreciation rates than traditional single family homes and condos.

Diminished Supply Of Available Land: Desirable locations to build in the Philippines are not limitless. There is a dwindling supply of available land in key markets such as Metro Manila's much sought after Ortigas Center and Makati locales. In Cebu, the highly desirable Mactan is an Island and available building land at prime locations are fast being sold which ensures that Condotels built in these locations will have seen significant real property appreciation.

Condotels Appeal To International Investors: Condotels are particularly attractive to International Investors whom wish to own a Vacation Home and an Investment Property in the Philippines and yet don't have any of the hassles of maintenance or renting out the property when they are not using it. With property values flattening off and rental incomes weakening in US the Philippines, only 16 hours away, offers an idea alternative at prices far less than anything available in the US. Less than $50,000 will purchase a reasonable, fully furnished, 400sqft Studio at the Lancaster Cebu with projected Annual ROI through Rental Incomes of some 12-14%.

The new Lancaster Suites Manila Atrium Tower II presents an even better purchase opportunity for International Property Investors. Studio Suites, at the Initial Launch Price can be purchased from $29,275.00 with projected Real Property Appreciation of some 70-80% during construction and a projected 100% Appreciation on turnover of the unit in 2010. Purchasing at this Price would give a projected Annual ROI through future Rental Incomes of some 16-18% per annum when operational from later part of 2010. Additionally, the value of the Philippine Peso has enabled many European and American Investors to obtain upscale Condotel units for what amounts to "Bargain Prices" or for the same price as a "Garage" back home.

What most people do is have the management rent the units out for them to defray the costs, and sometimes even creating a positive cash-flow, it becomes a "Self-Liquidating" investment free from maintenance expense. If you feel like going on vacation, simply call up the management company and let them know that you'll be using your unit on specific dates, and they set it aside so no-one else uses it. Normally 30 days per annum are allowed for Owner Use of the units enrolled in a Condotel Rental Pool. Most Condotels now operate on a common or cooperative basis with rental incomes equitably divided between the unit owners irrespective of actual unit usage. This means that even if your unit was not rented out during any particular month you will always receive an equal share of the rental income from the pooled net operations income.
