Points to consider ....

1. Is easy to jump in but to get out, read the termination clause.

2. The revenue is dependent on the monthly statement received ... how would one know whether the unit is 30 days or 20 days occupied in a month.

3. Whose responsibility for replacement of missing / damaged items / property. Should be the management co since they are the one screening the guests .... but would they agree....their priority is to have more bookings to make more money to cover cost . ..so any guest will do even with poor reviews.

4. 40% is inclusive or exclusive of maintainance, internet, cable tv, electricity and water charges. Should be exclusive ... one will be getting less than 60%

5. Booking.com charges 15% commission for every booking...for every booking, they pay to landlord less than 60%. Airbnb charges 5%. So it depends on where the booking comes from....will the co let the landlord knows.

6. Finally ... is all about money ... how reliable is their monthly payment to the owner. Like all GRR scheme .... always prompt at the beginning only!

The word 'landlord' you mentioned, is it ...

1. Are you the property owner, or

2. Are you the 'furnishing' owner

Paying banks  but getting abt  10% of that from Subhome..
They don't want to reveal how many long term tenant they have now.
Last they told me got abt 20 units rented to tenants.
That was in early June 2020.
Heard they have 59 units under them
Definitely will cut all the utility supplies.
Really piss off with them.
We have a group of more than 20 units so no problem in getting a lawyer to fight them in court if needed.

I managed my own unit (not in Tamarind). Never have any confident on those GRR. They take care of themselves first while you pay cost.
