IFA Hotels & Resorts, a subsidiary of International Financial Advisors in Kuwait, has pioneered the innovative property investment concept which guarantees individual owners a minimum return and substantial potential for capital growth. The concept of the residence hotel project enables investors to purchase a fully fitted, fully furnished room or apartment which will yield a guaranteed return of 8% in the first three years and may be used free of charge for 30 days in the year. Following the three year guaranteed return, individual investors will receive an annual profit share equal to 50 % of the room revenue.
