Euro does not bear any currency exchange risk.
Purpose of the
Valuation
The valuation has been prepared for internal purposes.
Bases of Value The applicable basis of value is Investment value under the premise
current/ existing conditions and exit value upon completion, the latter of
which is indicative.
Valuation Date 01 February 2019
Extent of
Investigations
We have not visually inspected the property from the inside and outside.
Our last inspection of the property was in 2015.
We have been provided with photos of the current conditions of the
property and the ongoing construction works.
We have not measured, taken samples or performed other action with

Reservations
This valuation is not subject to any departures or reservations according
to RICS Red Book.
The exit value which we have calculated is indicative.
Special The valuation is subject to the following special assumptions:
Assumptions
We assume the first phase of the project will be operational in the
summer of 2019.
Assumptions We assume the information provided by the Client is full and correct.
We have not independently verified and do not take responsibility for the
authenticity of the valuation.
The valuer is not responsible for legal issues.
Restrictions on
use, distribution
and publication of
the reports
The valuation has been prepared with view of and can be used only by
the stated Client for the abovementioned purposes and intended uses.
The valuers are not liable to any third party outside the explicitly stated
users of the valuations in respect of the services rendered. You must
obtain our consent, even if we are not referred to by name or our
valuation report is to be combined with others. We will not approve any
disclosure that does not refer sufficiently to any Special Assumptions or
Departures that we have made.
Compliance The valuation complies with the International Valuation Standards,
effective from 1st of July 2017 and RICS Valuation – Global Standards
2017.
Applicable The International Valuation Standards define investment value as:
Definition The value of an asset to the owner or a prospective owner for
individual investment or operational purposes.
Although the value of an asset to the owner may be the same as the
amount that could be realized from its sale to another party, this
basis of value reflects the benefits received by an entity from
holding the asset and, therefore, does not necessarily involve a
presumed exchange. Investment value reflects the circumstances
and financial objectives of the entity for which the valuation is being
produced. It is often used to measure investment performance.
Market
Uncertainty
Where uncertainty could have a material effect on an opinion of value,
the valuation standards require the valuer to draw attention to this,
indicating the cause of the uncertainty and the degree to which this is
reflected in the valuation reported.
It has been held that valuers may properly conclude within a range of
values. This range is likely to be greater in an illiquid market where
inherent uncertainty exists and a greater degree of judgment must
therefore be applied.
There has been limited market evidence upon which to base our
valuation and so we have had to exercise a greater degree of judgment

than usual. We have considered both current and historic market evidence available and endeavored to reflect current market sentiment, although the signals are mixed.

We strongly recommend that you keep the valuation of the subject property under review.

Conflicts of Interest We confirm no conflicts of interest exists between the Client and Forton AD reference to the rendered valuation report.

The valuers guarantee with their signatures the correctness, objectivity and independence of the valuation and declare under Article 21 (para. 1) of the Independent Valuers Act (Promulgated, SG, No. 98/14.11.2008, effective 15.12.2008) that they have no interest in the outcomes of the valuation; are not related persons to the client, owner or user of the object of valuation; that they will keep confidential the facts and data revealed to them in undertaking the valuation.

Neither our appointment nor our remuneration is conditioned on the estimated values or other interests based on the valuation.

In undertaking the valuation we have applied the best of our knowledge and professional experience and have not knowingly concealed relevant facts or circumstances.

2.3.4. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

We are not aware of any potential sources of contamination to the property, either current or historic, and we found nothing during our inspection to give cause for concern. In view of the characteristics and history of the property we would not expect there to be any outstanding environmental issues.

2.3.5. TOWN-PLANNING AND STATUTORY CONSIDERATIONS

2.4. Taxes

Real estate is taxed at municipal level in Bulgaria annually and is subject to garbage fees and transaction taxes. For tax purposes real estate is separated into land and buildings with separate tax bases for each unit of property (land plot, building or separate part of building). The overall tax base is the sum of the tax values of all units.

Tax values of residential property owned by corporations are set at the higher of administratively estimated tax value and the balance sheet value. The tax rates applied on taxable values (in the higher of the book value and administratively determined tax base for the property) vary from 0,01 to 0.45 per cent of the tax value by current law and are set each year by the respective municipal council.

The annual real estate tax rate is 0.1875 per cent of the taxable value of the property.

Residential real estate owners are liable for waste management and the charges of 0.16 per cent of the tax value (tax valuation) with a minimum of 0.065 per cent in case the property is declared unused for the whole year.

Real estate transactions are taxed with on the higher of the tax value and transaction price at between 0.1 and 3 per cent, subject to decision of the respective municipality. The transfer tax for the municipality is set at 2.5 per cent.

2.5. Tenure

We have been verbally informed that 159 units in Building P are not owned by EPO Aheloy OOD. We have been informed that 50 of those units are owned by one investor and a lease deal renting out of the assets is probable. The rest of the complex is owned by EPO Aheloy OOD. We made a special assumption that all assets owned by Aheloy Residence are taken over by EPO Aheloy.

We have not been provided with any ownership documents.

2.6. Tenancies

Currently, the properties are not subject to any tenancies. We have been provided with a distribution of the retail areas by type. A list of the retail areas which will be leased to tenants is attached below.

3. Hotel and tourism market overview

3.1. Tourism Overview

Bulgaria has a diversified and relatively well-developed tourism sector. The geographic characteristics of the country predetermine the variety of tourism types. Bulgaria has a long coastline along the Black Sea, several mountains suitable for skiing and last but not least – a long and rich historical heritage.

The coastal and ski tourism sectors experienced a boom in construction activity prior to Bulgaria's accession to the EU in 2007. As a result, some resorts like Sunny Beach on the Black Sea (north of Burgas) and Bansko in the mountains now suffer from oversupply of real estate. The table below indicates the tourism specialization within each region as classified by the Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism.

As the market struggled to absorb the oversupply of hotel rooms and especially apartments after 2008, development activity declined. Growth in visitation has allowed the market to recover to healthier occupancy levels and room rates. Development has stalled except to a limited number of hotel redevelopment projects in highly attractive locations. Expectations are that demand would remain constrained in the foreseeable future as only experienced developers and investors are provided with access to capital.

3.2. International Travel

Bulgaria was visited by approximately 9.3 million foreigners in 2018 which is а 4.4% increase compared to the previous year, according to the statistics of Ministry of Tourism. About 63% of the visits for the period were for vacation purposes.

The country has enjoyed a series of years with improving market performance, with the exception of the decline in visits in 2015 driven primarily by the outflow of Russian tourists, mostly due to economic reasons.

In 2018 visitor flows to the country surged driven by international tourism. Romanian tourists were the most numerous, accounting for almost 15% of the total number of visits.

TOURIST VISITS OF FOREIGNERS IN BULGARIA

In general, the main source markets for Bulgaria is Southeast Europe, followed by Western Europe (Germany being the main driver), Russia and the former Soviet Republics and Central and Eastern European countries.

MAIN SOURCE TOURIST MARKETS IN 2018

Source: National Statistical Institute

EU countries remain the main generator of tourist visits in Bulgaria although some countries, such as Greece and Germany, registered a slight decline in 2018. At the same time, Bulgaria has experienced increasing competition from neighbouring markets, especially Greece and Turkey, which are recovering lost ground after years of weaker performance.

Among these countries, several national markets stand out. Romania was the leading source market for tourism purposes in 2018, followed by Greece. Bulgaria is a primary destination for other neighbouring countries as well, such as Serbia and North Macedonia, which have also recorded growing activity both in winter and summer seasons.

3.3. Spending on Tourism

Income from travel from the Balance of Payments account shows international tourism income grew by approximately 6.6% y-o-y in 2018.

Source: BNB

Tourism spending has been growing steadily over the years, in line with the increase in international and domestic travel. Along with other market indicators, the revenues from international tourism showed a steep drop in 2015, quickly followed by market recovery.

As shown on the chart below, the sector is heavily dependent on international visitors. In the last year, they accounted for almost 80% of the visitors in the national summer and winter resorts. The overnight revenues, in turn, accounted for 90% of the total spending amount.

Among the resorts with national importance, the coastal locations register the highest number of visitors and revenues from nights spent.

SPENDING ON TOURISM BY RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS IN 2018

3.4. Seasonality

International visitation is led by summer coastal tourism as evidenced by the seasonality peak in July-August. Together with the mid-and low season in June and September, the summer resorts accounts for circa 60% of international travel to Bulgaria.

Although some of it can be attributed to transit to regional destinations such as Turkey or Greece or East-West moves of immigrants (Turks primarily) from and to Western Europe, data indicates that vacation is the primary motivating factor for the travellers arriving to Bulgaria. Close to 70% of visitors who stated holidays as their purpose of visit come to Bulgaria between 1 June and 30 September.

Source: National Statistical Institute

3.5. Airport Activity

The seasonal pattern is further confirmed by statistics for the Burgas airport, while the traffic in Sofia is more evenly distributed by quarters. The peak in air travel on the Black Sea coast coincides with the vacation season underscoring the profile of the region as summer hotspot.

PASSENGERS CARRIED TO BURGAS AND SOFIA AIRPORTS BY QUARTERS

The number of passengers at Burgas Airport has been gradually increasing over the years. The compound average annual growth rate of the number of passengers from 2013 to 2017 was 3.7% 2018 was record-breaking, with 3.3.mln passengers passing though Burgas airport, a significant increase by 10% compared to last year. Russian tourists account for 17% of the number of passengers, followed by those from Great Britain, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

PASSENGERS CARRIED TO BURGAS AND VARNA AIRPORTS

PASSENGERS CARRIED TO BURGAS AND VARNA AIRPORTS

Source: Eurostat

The larger number of Burgas passengers compared to those in Varna is a result of the much larger size of the tourism market in the South.

The main difference in travel activity comes from vacation season passengers.

3.6. Demand

The number of guests to hotels in the South-East region increased at a compound average annual rate of 4.8% between 2013 and 2017. The main growth drivers can be traced down to increased international guests, accounting for more than 64% of the total number and more than 81% of the arrivals in the upscale segment.

In general, the upscale segment generates the largest growth in both number of guests and revenues with compound average annual rate of 8.6% and 11% respectively, between 2013 and 2017.

Source: Eurostat

As can be seen on the charts above, the revenues in the 4- and 5-stars segment have increased more rapidly in the last five years, compared to the number of visitors and overnights for the same period. This result indicates a gradual price growth in the upscale segment over the last years.

Tourist visits produce an average of five to six night-stays in the coastal regions against about two in all other markets, including Sofia. Accommodated demand amounts to 1.83 million guests in the South-East region against 1.66 million in the North-East region for 2017.

The South-East Bulgaria remains the largest hotel market in volume with 9.97 mln night stays, followed by the North-East part of the country with 7.93 mln night stays, in 2017. As the below chart also shows, the Coastal areas account for almost 70% of accommodation demand in Bulgaria with the South capturing 38% of the national market and the North 30%.

The latest available data shows that the reviewed project is in a growing and sizable market.

3.7. Supply

Nationally, supply of hotel beds has increased over the last five years at a compound rate of 2.9%, allowing the market to gradually absorb the new supply. The South-East region posted higher than average increase of 3.4%, mostly thanks to the new tourist accommodations.

It should be noted that this growth rate was partly a result of some redevelopments of outdated buildings as land availability is low.

In terms of number of beds, the coastal hotel market stood at 70% of the national supply with 40% for the Southeastern region and 30% for the Northeast.

NUMBER OF HOTEL BEDS COUNTRYWIDE

While hotels nationally operate on a year-round basis, the average day a bed is opened in coastal areas is five to six months. Despite a perception for less sun-hours and lower temperatures in the North, data suggests coastal hotels there operate a month longer than their southern peers. Explanations can be found in more consolidated ownership or larger and hence more efficient properties – the North coast had the highest number of beds per property nationally at 149 and the South was in second position with 148 as at 2017. The capital Sofia holds third position with 144 beds per accommodation on average.

A relatively small number of hotels is open year-round along the coast, specifically city hotels in Varna and Burgas but also some coastal properties looking to meet the holiday and event demand on New Year and Easter holidays, as well as graduation celebrations in May. These types of hotels are usually business-oriented and fill the low seasons with corporate events, wedding and other types of gatherings attracted by the availability of spa and wellness services.

3.8. Hotel Performances

The coastal hotel business enjoyed stable occupancy over the last three years after the lag in 2015. The average rate stood at 47% in 2017 which roughly equals the figures a year earlier. South-East region leads the pack with almost 51% average occupancy while the North-East region lags behind with 43% occupancy on average.

The chart below compares the total number of beds available (beds x days open), the total number of night stays (bed-based) and bed occupancies at coastal hotels in the period between 2013 and 2017. Nationally, occupancy remains stable at 39% on average.

It should be noted that the upscale segment performs better in the coastal area with 56-58% occupancy rate on average. Again, this could be explained by more consolidated properties and more efficient management of the 4- and 5-stars hotel accommodations.

3.9. Pipeline

Redevelopment of existing but outdated facilities and extensions remain distinct trend along the Black Sea coast. There is limited amount of new rooms under construction, especially in larger hotel accommodations.

Source: National Statistical Institute

After the construction boom in the previous peak of the property cycle in 2007-2008, currently a more moderate investment activity is evident. The latter is result of the volatile tourist and second home market in the recent past. The limited availability of land suitable for hotel construction in the coastal resorts is another key factor.

Data from the National registry for new constructions & reconstructions (bcc.bg) shows just several larger projects (with TBA of more than 10,000 sq. m) currently under construction or in refurbishment along the Coast:

  • ∂ Grifid Hotel Vistamar, Golden Sands Resort, TBA of 12,000 sq. m, refurbishment and construction of a new hotel and SPA section
  • ∂ Cherno More Hotel, Varna, TBA of 67,900 sq. m, refurbishment
  • ∂ Aquahouse Phase 3, St. Konstantin and Elena resort, TBA of 16,000 sq. m, new construction
  • ∂ Amelia Hotel (ex-Dobrudja), Albena resort, TBA of 14,213 sq. m, refurbishment and enlargement
  • ∂ Wave Hotel, Aheloy village, TBA of 42,272 sq. m, new construction
  • ∂ Belvedere Club Hotel, Primorsko, TBA of 15,500 sq. m, refurbishment

The major part of the new developments are small family hotels or apartment houses with TBA rarely exceeding 3,000 sq. m.

However, this trend can be a subject to change, especially if market conditions allow more new developments and the general sentiment remains positive for new coastal hotels.

We assume the market is not influenced by external shocks such as economic or political crisis, war or major terrorism threats. Moreover, thus far the instability in the Middle East and North Africa have benefited Bulgaria's tourism sector which is why we would expect that gradual increase in demand would continue.

3.10. Investment market

Local investors have largely replaced international developers or high-net-worth individuals over the last several years, with examples such as the sales of the former Kempinski by the Zografski family, Radisson Blu by real estate investor Gort Securities and Hilton by Ireland's National Asset Management Agency. There have been several smaller sales such as the disposal of the former Park Inn from Greek fund manager Bluehouse Capital to a major Greek hotel investor.

The reason for the exit of foreign capital can be traced to high leverage in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and also the lack of large institutional pools of capital in the market. That said, the sales of Hilton and Kempinski in the recent past generated significant investor interest locally, not least due to their relatively low pricing.

Hotel is generally traded by specialist investors with sound understanding of the business. Aggressive leverage and lack of experience have produced poor results in the past. Experienced investors are aware of their negotiation position and would generally develop their pricing on the basis of expected net income from the property by taking into consideration factors such as location, size, current and potential positioning, trading history and reputation, brand, etc.

Developers are mostly interested in locations with large market areas, backed by corporate and government offices, with excellent private vehicle and public transportation access, preferably close to points of interest for tourists. Management agreements are becoming more common and are usually secured prior to start of construction or refurbishment so that the project can be adapted at a reasonable cost to the requirements of hotel brands.

The large hotel owners are generally local or regional experienced investors who also have interests in the resort hotel segment such as:

Group Type Hotel interests
Kokari Ltd. (Daskalantonakis
family)
Hotel investor and operator Sofia Hotel Balkan, a Luxury
Collection Hotel, and Maison

Arena di Serdika, Crystal Palace
and Hill hotels

and Ibis property in the pipeline

Except for the upscale hotels in Sofia already mentioned above, there were several smaller-scale hotel investment transactions over the last few years. In 2017, a total of 5 hotels changed their owners, only one outside Sofia - business hotel Bulgaria, located in the center of Burgas. It was acquired at approximately €40,000 per key, or at roughly €8.4 mln. Another Black Sea coast transaction in 2018 was the acquisition of Europa Hotel at the resort of Sunny Beach, which changed owners for under €60,000 per key.

4. Methodology

4.1. Bases of value

For the purposes of this valuation, we have adopted an Investment basis of value.

The International Valuation Standards define investment value as:

The value of an asset to the owner or a prospective owner for individual investment or operational purposes.

Although the value of an asset to the owner may be the same as the amount that could be realized from its sale to another party, this basis of value reflects the benefits received by an entity from holding the asset and, therefore, does not necessarily involve a presumed exchange. Investment value reflects the circumstances and financial objectives of the entity for which the valuation is being produced. It is often used to measure investment performance.

4.2. Approach and Method of Valuation

A valuation is a prediction of price, not a guarantee. By necessity it requires the valuer to make subjective judgments that, even if logical and appropriate, may differ from those made by a purchaser, or another valuer. Historically it has been considered that valuers may properly conclude within a range of possible values. The purpose of the valuation does not alter the approach to the valuation.

Property values can change substantially, even over short periods of time, and so our opinion of value could differ significantly if the date of valuation was to change. If you wish to rely on our valuation as being valid on any other date you should consult us first.

In preparing our valuation report we have relied upon our knowledge of the occupational and investment markets and the available evidence.

The principle valuation approaches are:

Market approach,

Income approach, and

Cost approach.

4.2.1. MARKET APPROACH

The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable assets for which price information is available.

COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS METHOD

The evaluation on the base of the method of comparable sales is done by a direct comparison of the evaluated property (building or land) with appropriate analogues. The main point in the method is the use of the market information for executed transactions on the relevant real estate market or properties offered for sale as at the time of the valuation. The analysis includes a procedure for interpreting and transforming the prices of the comparable properties on a market oriented value of the valuated property, including for asking price bias if necessary. If the comparable property exceeds in quality the evaluated property with one factor, a negative correction is set to decrease the value of the evaluated property.

The comparison is made by the use of indexes such as: location, physical characteristics, purpose, functionality, engineering equipment and infrastructure, transport accessibility to the property, building characteristics, ecological conditions of the territory, market characteristics, etc. The analysis includes properties with the same or similar functional purpose and usage. After the comparison of the properties, a correction is made to define the corrected price for 1 sqm and on this basis the value of the evaluated property is defined.

We have deemed the Market approach is not suitable for assessing the value of the development. Therefore, we have applied the income approach described below.

4.2.2. INCOME APPROACH

The income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flows to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW (DCF) METHOD

Under the DCF method, the forecasted cash flow is discounted back to the valuation date, resulting in a present value of the asset. In some circumstances for long-lived or perpetual-lived assets DCF include a terminal value, which represents the value of the asset at the end of the explicit projection period. In other circumstances, the value of an asset may be calculated solely using the terminal value with no explicit projection period. This is sometimes referred to as an income capitalization method.

The forecast cash flows consist of the expected rental and/or sale revenues from the property over the projection period. Provisions are made for projected vacancies or holding costs. The revenues are reduced with the outgoings such as capital expenses related to development or refurbishment, letting and selling fees and the operating expenses. In case of investment property, a terminal value is determined by the forecast of the annual net operating income for the year immediately after the end of the holding period divided by the exit yield (capitalization rate) expressed as a percentage. The stabilized perpetual growth rate of the investment is thus reflected in the valuation.

The choice of cash flows depends on the nature of the asset and investor preferences. Where investors or developers are expected to use bank financing, consideration is given to the obtainable development and/or acquisition loan and financing costs.

The discount rate considers the type of cash flows (to the property or to the equity), the risk compared to similar investments and the long-term growth rate (inflation).

We have constructed the leveraged cash flow in the following way:

Hotel EBITDA + terminal value – realization costs – equity acquisition + bank loan – interest – principal – outstanding principal.

We have discounted the cumulative cash flows assuming an appropriate discount rate.

We have based our estimations on a 10-year cash flow.

4.3. Valuation Assumptions

For the purpose of the valuation have made a number of assumptions which we consider reasonable and in line with the purpose of the valuation.

Building P 0
Building L 2 414
Building K 2 483
Reception area 800
Kids club 500
Pool bars 200
Restaurant outdoor seating area 1 200

We have been informed that 159 of the units in building P are not owned by EPO Aheloy. For the purposes for this valuation, we have assumed that EPO Aheloy will operate these units as a part of the hotel and compensate the owners with an annual rent of €1,200 per unit/per annum, subject to annual indexation in line with the assumption for the valuation. In addition, we assume the units not owned by EPO Aheloy will be open for 93 days per season, as the owners will have the opportunity to use them for 14 days during the season.

DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE

We have assumed that buildings M and N will be operational for the summer 2019 season, followed by the three remaining buildings P, L &K in 2020.

We have assumed the properties will be operational 107 days a year, with the high season lasting for 77 days and the mid-season-30 days.

We have adopted a 10-year cash flow, with an investment sale of the properties in the tenth year.

COSTS TO COMPLETE

We have been provided with the following costs to complete the first phase of the project. These costs will be expensed before the opening of the complex in the summer of 2019.

Outstanding costs – M and N Cost
Completion of reception building € 506 180
Plumbing and water supply € 127 800
Second outdoor pool € 199 400
Pump station € 30 890
Equipment and connection of the pumping station € 309 740
Repair and completion of existing pool € 66 500
Completion for the M and N buildings € 92 000
Completion of the retail space in M and N buildings € 409 000
Completion of building outside € 363 000
Vertical planning € 818 067
Pool equipment € 76 700
Total € 2 999 277

The outstanding costs to complete the other two buildings are as follows:

Outstanding costs-P, L & K Area Cost to complete
Rough construction building L 18 308 € 2 231 957
Buildings P & K 6 300 € 768 043
Total € 3 000 000

ADR AND OCCUPANCY PROJECTIONS

∂ Phase I

For the first phase of the project, we have assumed the following ADRs:

ADR estimation Phase I Number of days ADR
High season 77 € 65,00
Mid-season 30 € 55,00

These lead to an average ADR of €62 per room for the first season of operations, we have used for the purposes of our calculations. We have assumed the ADR will increase by 2% per annum, reaching €67 on the 6th year and €74 on the 10th year of operations.

∂ Phase II

As we have been informed that the remaining 2 buildings are planned to be completed to higher standards, we have reflected that in the ADR assumptions shown below. We have assumed the ADR will increase by 2% per annum, reaching €82 in the 5th year and €91 on the 10th year of operations.

ADR estimation Phase II Number of days ADR
High season 77 € 80,00
Mid-season 30 € 65,00

These result in an average ADR of €76 per room for the first year of operations.

For both Phase I and Phase II, we have adopted a beginning occupancy rate of 54%, gradually rising and stabilizing at 72% at year 10.

We have assumed the occupancy will be distributed as follows:

Beginning occupancy:

Occupancy rate estimation Number of days Occupancy rate
High season
July 31 70%
August 31 80%
June 15 30%
Low season
September 15 25%
June 15 20%
Average occupancy rate for the season 54%

Stabilized occupancy rate:

Occupancy rate estimation Number of days Occupancy rate
High season
July 31 100%
August 31 100%
June 15 40%
Low season
September 15 30%
June 15 30%
Average occupancy rate for the season 72%

We have adopted a 2% growth and inflation rate on all income and expenses projections.

ADDITIONAL INCOME

We have assumed the retail areas will be leased at €10 per sqm/month, for 3 months each year. Other income generating projections:

  • ∂ Food and beverage income is estimated at 20% of room revenue;
  • ∂ Other income is projected at 5% of the room revenue.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

We have adopted the following costs, in addition to the costs to complete and the annual fee to operate the units not owned by EPO Aheloy, which will be incurred on an annual basis:

  • ∂ Rooms expenses-18% of the rooms revenue;
  • ∂ Food and beverages-12% of the F&B revenue;
  • ∂ Rent expenses-2% of the rent revenue;
  • ∂ Administrative and general-3.5% of the total revenue;
  • ∂ Sales and marketing-5% of the total revenue;
  • ∂ Property operations and maintenance-7% of the total revenue:
  • ∂ Utility costs-3.5% of the total revenue;
  • ∂ Reserve for renewals-2% of the total revenue for the first three years of operation, and 3% for the rest of the period;
  • ∂ Property taxes-1% of the total revenue;
  • ∂ Operating and management fee-6% of the total revenue

FINANCING

We have assumed 80% of the costs to complete the project will be financed by debt, and the remaining 20%-by equity.

The interest rate is adopted at 4%, and the DSCR is 1.3.

INVESTMENT SALE

We have assumed the property will be sold at the end of the 10th year of operations. The exit yield and exit price are estimated on the basis of the projections for the 11th year of operations.
