InRento team presents a new buy-to-let project – Old Town Stay, Vilnius I. The investment offer consists of an authentic two-storey building located in Vilnius Old Town, just a three-minute walk from Vilnius Cathedral at 4 Liauksmino street, Vilnius.
The financed property has an area of 508.84 m². The project includes 195.41 m² of unfinished attic space. The plan is to make efficient use of all this space by creating 31 rooms. The property will be renovated and converted into a small hotel. 10 outdoor parking slots are provided on the site, further increasing the property’s attractiveness.
The owner of the project is Lean capital, UAB. The company's CEO – Lina Baronaitė has more than 10 years of experience in short-term rentals in Lithuania and abroad. As one of the examples, right next door, also in Vilnius Old Town, there is a successfully managed project of a similar concept – Bali house Vilnius, which has excellent reviews on the Booking.com platform and the yearly occupancy rate for this project ranges from 85% up to 95%.
The project owner plans to generate most of the rental income from this project via Booking.com. The first year of operation will aim for an annual profit of at least EUR 101,808. This provides a high margin of safety, as the projected rental operating profit is more than double the annual interest payable to investors.
The average price of a hotel room for 2 persons near Vilnius Cathedral ranges from EUR 49 to EUR 154 per night (based on Booking.com data as of 11 October this year, analysing rooms with a score between 8.1 and 9.1). Meanwhile, the project owner's planned pricing will be between EUR 40 and 50, which will mean extremely high competitiveness.
Investors will be paid a fixed interest of 10% – 10.5% per annum, depending on the amount invested. The project also has a fixed capital gains of 1.5%, payable at the end of the project, which raises the overall yield of the project from 11.5% to a 12% annual return.
This project has a fixed annual return on capital gains –
The capital gains are fixed and payable together with the repayment of the loan amount for the preceding instalment ("Instalment"), with the return for each successive Instalment being added to the calculation of the return. The Instalment shall be considered as per one calendar year. A fixed increment of 1.5% shall be applied to the Instalment.
Example calculation: If the Loan is repaid after one year, a fixed return of 1.5% applies. If the Loan is repaid after 24 months, a fixed return of 3% applies. If the Loan is repaid after 36 months, a fixed return of 4.5% applies.
The profit margin is payable whether or not the Loan is repaid on the sale of the property.
The mortgage agreement with the project owner has been successfully concluded and registered (the document can be found in the "Documents" section of the project description).
