08 — Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really own the apartment? +
Yes! You receive a full individual title deed in your name. You can sell it anytime on the normal real estate market, mortgage it, use it personally, or rent it long-term. It is 100% your property.
What if the management company does not perform well? +
The management contract is yearly renewable. If you are unsatisfied, simply do not renew. You can switch to self-management, hire a different company, or convert to traditional long-term rental.
Can I use the apartment personally? +
Absolutely! With advance notice to the management company, you can block dates for personal use. It is your apartment after all.
Is 70% occupancy realistic? +
Yes, with professional management in prime locations. The management company diversifies guest sources (tourists, business travelers, medical tourism, diaspora) to maintain year-round occupancy.
What happens if I want to sell? +
You sell it like any normal apartment. The next buyer can choose to continue with management or not. No specialized buyers needed — it is standard real estate.
How is this different from buying a hotel room? +
Huge difference! Hotel room investments have no individual title deed, complex ownership structures, and limited exit options. Our model gives you full ownership of a regular apartment with optional management services.
What about common area fees? +
All owners pay standard condominium fees. Units in the short-term rental program pay slightly higher fees due to increased usage of common areas (lobby, elevators, etc.).
Can I get a mortgage? +
Yes! Since it is a standard residential apartment with individual title deed, you can obtain a normal mortgage from Albanian or international banks.
