Wabi Umalas will use a pooled occupancy method for distributing the
rental income of the complex to ensure that all Villa Owners are treated
in a fair manner regarding the investment return generated from Villa
rental activities.
Villa Owners receive a proportionate share of pooled rental income
regardless of the actual rental occupancy in any specific Villa as shares
are calculated on the entire complex’s rental income. The method of
sharing is influenced by each Owner’s utilisation of their villa (‘Owner
Occupier Nights’ or ‘ONN’). Villa Owners are excluded from the rental
pool on those nights when they are in residence.
This structure has several other benefits. It allows individual owners
to use their villas as much or as little as they choose. The less an
individual uses the villa, the more they will benefit economically from
commercial rentals. Also it encourages all owners to consider when they
will stay in their villa as certain times of the year (the peak seasons
of Christmas and the month of August, for instance) are more valuable
to the Villa Owners and the Villa Complex than other times of the year.
This is how the system operates:
- Step 1
All villas are grouped into a single accommodation pool
- Step 2
The total revenue and owners shares are calculated on a daily basis,
accounted for on a monthly basis, and distributed to the owners on
a quarterly basis. All travel agency and airline commissions are subtracted
from this gross amount and paid to the agency or airline before they
reach the complex.
- Step 3
From the remaining balance, an allocation of 10% is paid to the Management
Company as its Variable Management Fee. The remainder is termed the
Gross Rooms Revenue (GRR).
- Step 4
Each Villa owner has an Owner’s Share in the complex. The share is
equal to the number of bedrooms in their respective villa divided
by the total numbers of available bedrooms for commercial rental in
the complex. On any given night any or all Villa Owners may be using
their Owner Occupied Nights (ONN). If they are, they are removed from
the pool of available bedrooms for that night.
- Step 5
On any given night the Total Available Bedrooms (TAB) is calculated.
TAB equals the number of bedrooms in the complex minus ONN.
- Step 6
Owners who are not using their ONN are then entitled to the Owner’s
Nightly Pool Share (ONPS). Each ONPS equals the GRR divided by the
TAB multiplied by number of bedrooms that the Villa Owner possesses.
- Step 7
As indicated above, this calculation is performed daily then the cumulative
figures are compiled monthly and then income is distributed quarterly.
