I know your next question is - how much deposit do I need?
$5,000 to reserve your unit and lock-in your price.
It typically takes about 60 days to receive your contract.
After your 15 day review of the contract, you bring your deposit up to a total of 10%.
In approximately 60 days after that, another 10% is due.
Balance due at closing.
Investors are welcome - you can purchase with an LLC - contracts are assignable with developer’s approval.
Your $5,000 is fully refundable until contract is signed should you change your mind.
Another great benefit, you can charge your initial $5,000 deposit on a credit card - no out-of-pocket cash!
If you are looking for a vacation spot, this is a great opportunity. The developer has an agreement with a large property management firm. If you choose to rent your unit, you will work directly with the property manager. We were advised that last year, this rental management company had 33,000 over bookings which means not enough motel/hotels in the area for vacationers. Because of the Millions of Vacationers in Orlando, they have a 2 year waiting list for privately owned rentals with 2 or more bedrooms! Currently, the rental rates in the area start at $170 per day. The revenue split for condo/hotel owners is higher that what we see at most developments. Typically, the revenue is split 50-50. At this project, although a final decision has not been made, approx 66% is expected to go to the unit owner. Our target property will benefit in it’s early years from the overflow of hotel guests from other properties. This area is running approx 72% occupancy which is about 20% above the Orlando average and far higher than the Kissimmee average. Visitors who don’t want to stay right on Disney property will see this project as an excellent alternative. The resort is also likely to get the overflow when Disney’s hotels are full.
This is a wonderful family vacation resort area - If you choose the keep unit for your own personal use, you will always have a place to stay when visiting the area (just need to book your week/month in advance). Owners are not required to participate in the rental program. In fact, unlike most condo/hotels that you’ll find in other parts of the country, there are no living restrictions at this project. Use your condo/hotel unit one day, 10 days, or 365 days a year. If you want, you can make this Condo/Hotel your permanent home. Or you could become what Floridians call a “snowbird” and just use your Florida home during the winter months. As most of you know, condo/hotels are sold primarily as “real estate with a lifestyle” not as an investment. This project combines the top reasons for visiting and living in Orlando - shopping, attractions, and business - into one luxurious, comfortable, and family-fun atmosphere.
The condo/hotel concept is relatively new to the Orlando area but already it is receiving lots of attention from investors within the state of Florida, throughout the country and even internationally (especially among investors from Great Britain who find the property values particularly appealing). No doubt, as future developers break into the market, they will do so at higher and higher prices. Buyers who get in early will likely see their units appreciate. I should mention too, that housing prices in Orlando rose 19% in 2004 over 2003, another very positive indicator for this area. Bottom line, this property should do well for the investor.
The inventory changes daily so if you are interested, I suggest you reply by e-mail or call me to set up a phone meeting with our contact at this project. Because of the interest in this project, we anticipate this building to sell out with a few weeks. No cost to register and get website information. Just need your full name, address and phone number. Once you are registered, you can have a direct relationship with our contact at the project. By the way, did I mention that my contact’s father is one of the developers? One of our goals is to get as close to the developer as we can! The Developers have solid retail and housing development backgrounds in both Texas and Florida. This team has a hospitality background with more than 20 years developing and marketing resorts and hotels in the Orlando area. This team has the vision, the contacts and the know-how to make this property an a success.
Please advise ASAP if you want more information.
