Here are our estimates of the potential annual Return on Investment (ROI) that might be realized by Unit Owners offering short term holiday rentals. These projections are based on assumptions, including comparable rents and costs at May 2025, anticipated future rates of occupancy and net rental rates to be achieved. Due to the inherent uncertainty of future projections, one or more of the assumptions employed in our calculations may not materialize and thus the actual results may vary from our projections and the variations may be significant.
For each Unit size we have prepared a projection of ROI for the first year of rental and a second projection of ROI seven years later, assuming a cumulative total increase in rental rates and annual expenses of 30% (equivalent to an average compounded increase of 3.85% p.a.).

Notes:
- The legal fees are an estimate of the fees for a cash buyer. If there is mortgage financing the legal fees would increase in accordance with the loan amount.
- No account has been taken of any income tax considerations for owners, as these can vary widely by owner.
- No account is taken of VAT since currently, Bds VAT is not applicable where total revenue is less than US$100,000 p.a.
| Assume that in 7 years Occupancy % is unchanged and Rents & Expenses increase by an average of 30.00%. The ROI projection, using the assumptions in the Notes above, is calculated as follows: | ||||||
