In addition our rental properties experience a high rate of occupancy through out the year. Most tourist and business travelers prefer to rent a private apartment than to stay in a hotel room.

Comparing Odessa to Kiev:

The country's capital city of Kiev has experienced remarkable growth over the last few years. It has been well documented that real estate investors there have enjoyed double digit yearly returns. We have experience the same returns here in Odessa. We believe real estate investments in Odessa will have more of upside than Kiev for the following reasons:

• Current real estates prices in Odessa are significantly lower than in Kiev.
• Government trade reforms will greatly increase cargo and cash flow through the port of Odessa.
• Increase in port activity will attract more foreign businesses to Odessa.
• The repeal of the visa requirement for Western tourists will greatly increase tourism.
• To date most foreign real estate investor in Ukraine have focused on Kiev while Odessa's great profit potential has been somewhat overlooked.
• Currently there is a shortage of accommodations for the ever growing amount of tourists and businessmen coming to Odessa.

Conversion of "Communas" property to Rental Properties:

In Soviet times many residents live in what they called "Communas". Communas are common living quarters shared by many families with common kitchen and bathroom areas. These communas still exist today, however, in the historical center of Odessa only but a few remain. These communas represent excellent investment opportunities.
