How is Hideaway ownership structured at MUSA?

Hideaways are part of a single real estate trust (fideicomiso) that holds all units collectively. When you purchase a Hideaway, you’re acquiring exclusive usage rights to a specific, fully outfitted unit through a trustee certificate issued by a licensed fiduciary institution.

Who manages the trust, and how are ownership and operations structured?

Your Hideaway is held within a real estate trust administered by Kapital Bank, a licensed fiduciary institution. Upon purchase, you receive a certified trustee certificate that secures your exclusive usage rights to the unit. To ensure seamless hospitality and rental operations, the trust appoints the Hotel Operator as the designated manager of all Hideaway units.

This relationship is formalized through a Hotel Residence Club Operating Agreement, which governs services such as booking, maintenance, guest experience, marketing, and revenue distribution. There are no traditional closing costs—only a one-time administrative fee (~$1,500 USD) to establish the trust, making the structure both secure and efficient.

Can I use my Hideaway whenever I want?

Yes — you have unrestricted personal use of your unit. However, when you're not using it, it is mandatory to participate in the Hotel Residence Club rental program. This ensures that your property generates income passively while contributing to the greater MUSA hospitality ecosystem.

Is this considered an investment property?

Yes. Owning a Hideaway goes beyond owning a piece of real estate, you are investing into a structured turn-key income-generating commercial investment, with built-in rental management, marketing, and operations system. Units earn income through a profit-sharing model, distributed as 62% (owner) / 38% (hotel operator) based on net nightly revenue. Operating expenses are paid out of the owner’s portion.

What kind of returns can I expect on a Hideaway?

Our model targets an average 12% annual net return at 50% occupancy, after all operating expenses—including utilities, hotel services, maintenance, condo fees, taxes, accounting, insurance, and operating supplies.

This return also factors in a 15% holdback on revenue put towards your private reserve fund to ensure long-term upkeep of your home and avoid cash-calls for extraordinary maintenance and expenses. At this rate, owners can expect to recoup their investment in approximately 8 to 9 years, while continuing to enjoy unlimited personal use within program guidelines.

What are the upfront and ongoing costs involved?

The purchase price of your Hideaway is all-inclusive (land, build, outfitting), with the following additional costs:
‍
~$1,500 USD for legal and trust setup fees
‍
Prepayment of 1 year of operating expenses (~$12,000–$20,000 USD depending on unit size) This upfront contribution funds your unit’s operational needs. From there, your unit’s house account is “topped up” with rental revenue to maintain a healthy balance. Once the account exceeds that buffer, net profits are distributed to you. The goal is that you fund this once—and then your Hideaway becomes fully self-sustaining, both operationally and financially.

What does “turn-key” include?

Turn-key ownership at MUSA means the land, construction, furnishing, and outfitting are all included—down to linens, soaps, and branded amenities. Each unit is fully rental-ready and identical in styling to MUSA’s hotel standards. Owners have lock-off closets for personal items.

Are there any usage limits or fees?

There’s no limit to how often you can use your unit. However, if you exceed 180 nights per year, a small offset fee applies—equal to one night’s rental per additional month of usage. There are no ongoing management fees. Instead, the hotel only earns through a performance-based profit split—which means we only make money when you do. This structure ensures full alignment and transparency between the ownership and operations.

Can I customise the interior of my unit?

No. Because all Hideaways operate as part of the hotel inventory, interiors must remain standardised to maintain a consistent guest experience and ensure smooth, efficient operations. However, each unit includes lock-off storage where you can keep personal items and favorite touches to make the space feel like home during your stays.

What model types are available?

Hideaways range from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. All are architecturally designed and hotel-ready.

Is there a way to access more space or trade time?

Yes. Owners can participate in a shared use program, trading nights across unit types. For example, using a one-bedroom in exchange for a two-bedroom would count as two credited nights.

What are the payment options and timelines?

Timelines vary by unit stage:
‍
Completed units: 25% down / 75% on closing (approx. 2 months)

Partially finished units: 40% down / 60% on closing (approx. 4 months)

New builds: 40% down / 30% at structural build / 20% at rough finishes / 10% at delivery (approx 8-12 months total)
