Northern Lights Condominiums
Management Plan

How to Pay for Your Investment - Have it Your Own Way! Here at Northern Lights you can manage your real estate investment your own way. Use it as a primary or second home, rent it out yourself, or join our professionally maintained management program that takes the worry out of receiving a return on your investment.

The Management Program is designed to maximize the return on your investment. Like many of the hotel operations throughout the country, the program is designed to completely maintain your unit, allow you to stay at your condominium, and still fully utilize the property in a rental program that will help you pay for your investment.

Many investors are using real estate as part of their investment portfolio. For instance, treating your condominium as a business you can obtain a commercial loan rather than a conventional mortgage and gear your monthly payments to the historical rental income of hotel suite units in the Saugatuck/Douglas area. Further, your deductions for interest, depreciation, and other expenses can be run through your business.

By taking advantage of these factors, your real estate investment can increase in value while your business expenses account for some if not all of your taxes. Check with your accountant if you can take full advantage of these favorable investment techniques.

Historically, the Saugatuck/Douglas area experiences very high occupancy rates during the prime summer months. During the off-season, Saugatuck/Douglas and its merchants, restaurants, and other commercial venues advertise heavily to entice travelers to spending long weekends in the area.

The condominiums at Northern Lights and its surrounding grounds are designed to take full advantage of West Michigan's seasons. Each unit is equipped with a gas fireplace. Our pool cabana, hot tub and gas fire pits, spread throughout the common area, will appeal to visitors on a four season basis.

The central location of Northern Lights, its beautiful landscaping and amenities will be an attractive base for visitors providing quick access year round to attractions, shopping, dining, and the natural wonders of the area.

So How Does the Management Plan Work?

Northern Lights professional management team will fully maintain your condominium, advertise through a number of outlets including local media, the tourist bureau, the Internet, etc. to keep your unit occupied as much as possible. Furthermore, the Saugatuck/Douglas area is on of the premier destinations in the Midwest. The area's businesses are aggressive in attracting visitors throughout the year.

Northern Lights currently offers three different levels of accommodations being the studio, one and two-bedroom units. The rentals will be allocated so that each investor has the same opportunity to share in the entire rental income depending on his or her investment. Rental rates will operate like most hotels based on the season, demand, and occupancy levels.

Rental allocation is based on the following factors:

1. 1. The potential renter's preference for a specific unit;
2. 2. The potential renter's preference as to location or type of unit;
3. 3. A fair rotational system taking into account the frequency that the unit has been rented;
4. 4. Other factors that could come into play such as the owner's preference for a minimum set price for each stay.
