From the buying of land to building it is done by private equity and then it is leased to a brand name which will give a fixed %age of return (Local brands can use this opportunity for building their name and using it to get listed on the exchange)
If the expected rate of return on a fixed deposit is 12%,2% is added as expense cost and 1% overhead expenses( + 3 years of building a hotel) minimum return( can go as high as 18-21%) is expected to cover these out of the lease.
The land/Property remains with the investors while getting a fixed rate of return. The maintenance expenses are borne by the brand to which it is leased.
