Income:
The lease provides for the investor to receive an equal share of 70% of the gross accommodation receipts on the 14th of the month following. All income is collected by Sunnyplace Investments Ltd in a separate account and the amount due to investors is transferred to the Body Corporate on the due date.

The Body Corporate deducts the agreed funds for expenses and disburses the balance on an equal amount per unit. The Body Corporate fees cover management of the building, insurance, agreed building maintenance, and secretarial costs.

Unit net income is a combination of occupancy, room rates less Body Corporate fees and rates. Occupancy and the room tariffs peak during the summer months and fall during the winter months.

Gross income averaged $2,100 per month in the last financial year.

Occupancy this year has averaged 62% and the room rate has averaged $142. Occupancy is rising and room rates have been increased. As a result, improved returns are expected over the next 2 years.

Based on the current results, the unit should earn $1,650 per month net of body corp fees.

We are onsite at 3.30 to 4 pm on Sundays or view by appointment.
