- Buyback Hotel Equity share in a luxury hotel ($200,000 onwards)
- Full hotel ownership with title ($3.5 million onwards)
What you get?
In addition to investing in hotels, you get
- Passport + citizenship for investors and family in Europe/Caribbean
- Rental income from bookings
- High profitability
- Sell after 3-5 years
Why invest in hotels?
Hotel investments have significant benefits compared to residential real estate investments. Here is a quick summary of comparison.
- High yield from day one with guaranteed income and capital growth ideal for long term financial planning
- Hassle and care free investment – sit back, relax and requirement to visit
- Governments that offer citizenship need proof of job creation, revenues from taxes and meeting tourism benefits from investors, so it is a guaranteed investment vehicle for instant citizenship.
- Commercial property prices are higher than residential prices, so higher profitability gains.
- Hotels are maintained and managed by staff by excellent standards, while residential property require self management and maintenance by landlord.
- Hotels do not contribute to rise in residential property prices.
