The apartment is finely furnished, with two balconies, a cellar and two parking spaces in the garage. The location is really Ski-In / Ski-out , you can park your car and forget about it until the end of your stay. The unit for sale includes two separate two-room apartments, with separate facilities and entrances, now communicating, and sold as a single block. The apartment is part of a tourist hotel residence, also known as an "RTA." This formula, as well as intended for use in tourist form, gives you the opportunity to use your apartment periods you need and give it under management in others without worrying about anything else. To better understand what an RTA is, I invite you to read below. At a time when the crisis is raging in all sectors, not least real estate, only change can ensure the future of 'construction and, therefore, of real estate. Today, being an owner of an apartment, especially if it is not first, determines large management costs in which taxes produce a certain depreciation, but the solution to this can only be to own a property that is self-managing, in fact, the R.T.A. (hotel tourist residence) offers a great opportunity in this sense. We often hear about this product but without really knowing the 'effectiveness of performance which, even for the less experienced, with simplicity can be understood. Starting from the concept that whoever owns an apartment in a condominium and complies with its regulations, the costs and expenses of that unit (mainly charged to the payment of the concierge's salary, severance pay, maintenance expenses, heating, supervision in summer periods, administration, equalization and whatnot), in a building of fair proportions (30 apartments) averages around € 200.00/350.00 per month per condominium for an average total of € 3,300.00 annually and can neither be refunded nor deducted. This sum, of course, will burden the family budget determining a deprivation on hobbies, various entertainments and not least summer and winter vacations. Let us now consider a property in a hotel tourist residence i.e. R.T.A. , where the buyer generally owns at least one other apartment. 1) If we were in possession of a property any other property we buy, it would result "second home" and this does not exempt from paying IMU (municipal tax on real estate) the TASI and not least the RAI fee on the 'electric utility. 2) The 'property in question, would have management costs that unlike a simple urban condominium, would not burden the family budget, indeed, could even supplement it to support unforeseen expenses; all this is done by offering their housing unit to a management company that will take care of its interests and for which at the end of the year will share the profits. 3) The average use of a second home, whether you own in the mountains or at the seaside is about 1/2 months spread over the year certainly focused on weekends and seasonal occurrences ( Christmas, New Year, Easter and August bank holiday); certainly ideal period for one's needs, for the rest it can be granted temporarily to the management company that currently holds the rental license, which will guarantee you a share of the profits. 4) As is well known having residency in the first house prevents you from having another one in a second real estate unit, which is not possible even in the R.T.A. but only for the first 15 years after which the alley, being able to be revisable, lapses and you can fully enjoy your real estate. 5) Investing in an RTA does not mean buying a timeshare that gives you the week(s) of stay, but rather,you will buy the 'actual property, enjoying your vacation and you can transfer like a normal apartment, when you see fit. 6) With a 'careful analysis of costs and revenues you can determine the total absence of risk in buying in an RTA, in fact: (a) Overhead expenses (IMU, condo fees, routine maintenance) are largely covered by the management company. b) You can make use of your apartment during the periods you deem most appropriate and the rest keep it rented by receiving an income. c) For those who want to bequeath a property to their loved ones, what better solution than an RTA ?! where the maintenance and care of the furnishings is borne by the management company which will take care of all your interests so that the property is transferred in perfect condition and for which after 15 years it could become a first home for your children. d) If you wanted to treat yourself to summer or winter vacations what you would spend on travel would more than compensate for the amount to be paid for the mortgage which would no longer be an expense as in the first case, but rather, a piggy bank enriched also by the revaluation of the 'property. In conclusion, we believe that buying a house is always an 'excellent opportunity for those who have the opportunity be it residential apartments, R.T.A., vacation homes, shares of buildings and if you add to this the total absence of thoughts to manage it, as in our case, the result is an excellent investment that guarantees you a safe and concrete return over time.
