This method involves combining apartments with similar characteristics within a condominium and transferring them to the management of a professional management company. At the end of the financial year, the income received, net of management costs, is evenly distributed among all owners participating in the rental pool. The advantage of this scheme is the independence of income from the individual occupancy of a particular property.
The owner’s living conditions in his/her apartments (from two weeks to a month per year) are similar to the previous option. In case specific apartments are unavailable, the participant is provided with alternative accommodation of a similar class. The yield of the rental pool is usually 8−10% per annum.
