7% Net Guaranteed Annual Rental Return for Three Years

Orpheus Ski Apartment House management offers a three-year Rental Guarantee Program at no cost to the investor as the management company absorbs the risks. Owners enjoy trouble-free ownership and guaranteed rental income for three years.

Under this scheme, each owner enjoys four weeks free stay at the Orpheus Ski Apartment House each year. During the first three years of operation, two alternative programmes are offered:

• Provides a 7% net annual return based on the buying price, provided that the owner restricts their scheduled stays to avoid the high season periods
• Allows the owner to stay during the high season for a guaranteed return of 5% net

At the fourth year, the developer intends to provide a rental guarantee programme based on the previous years’ performance. Orpheus Ski Apartment House will always provide an attractive alternative to Kempinski Hotel in terms of accommodation and rental rates.

Innovative Ownership Model provides Land Ownership and Management Control

The unique ownership model protects investors through a purchase combination of

• Real estate ownership of the apartment unit, and
• Capital share ownership in the company that owns the project

Orpheus Ski Apartment House Owners own

• The unit/s of their choice, plus
• A proportionate share of the development company

This approach provides fully-declared, authorised value for the purchase in terms of real estate and company ownership. The innovative ownership model gives the owners direct control of the project and a proportionate ownership of the land.
