Equity investment in hotel real estate means that each investor owns a share of the property (for example, a room or other premises) and receives income proportionate to the invested funds. There are several models of such investment — in particular, equity participation (investors invest funds at the construction stage of the property), fractional ownership (investors buy a finished property), a cooperative model (a group of people pool funds, and the property is registered to one legal owner) and condo hotels (each investor owns a separate room, but the hotel is managed centrally by a management company).
