Miami’s Condo Hotels: How Much Do Owners Really Make?

Miami’s Condo Hotels: How Much Do Owners Really Make?

 

If you’re thinking of buying a unit in one of Miami’s luxury condo hotels—Domus, Okan Tower, The Gale, Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, SLS Lux, YotelPad, or W South Beach—this episode is your reality check.

 

Inspired by the RMA Study: Miami June 2025, we break down what investors and second-home buyers actually walk away with after management fees, blackout dates, and usage restrictions.

 

🛑 Spoiler alert: It’s not just “passive income in paradise.”

We dive into:

• 📅 How much time you can actually stay in your unit—and when you can’t

• 💰 Operator fees that range from 17% to 60% of your revenue

• 🏖️ Which buildings let you block blackout dates and which will laugh at you

• 📉 Why "net to owner" might surprise you more than Miami humidity

• 🧠 How to read the fine print so you don’t overpay for underuse
  
  

Whether you're a luxury buyer, serious investor, or curious agent—this is the unfiltered math behind Miami’s condo hotel market.

 

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

 

Until next time, stay curious, stay sharp—and as always…stay ALL IN!
