A hot coastline breeds hot promises. Around every genuine mega-project, satellite pitches bloom: guaranteed double-digit yields, fractional shares of hotel rooms, heritage legends invented by the marketing department. This page is not about any one project - it is the checklist that survives all of them.
The seven checks
- Who is the payee? A single, verifiable legal entity named in the signed contract and findable in the public registry - or a shifting cast of accounts? One name, one ID, verified by you, or walk.
- Where does the 'guaranteed' yield come from? A guarantee is a liability on someone's balance sheet. If the guarantor's operating income does not exist yet, the guarantee is an IOU from the future.
- Does the nightly-rate maths beat the world? When a pitch assumes rates above what the best operating hotels of the same brand achieve on world-class seafronts, the spreadsheet is the fiction genre.
- Fractional shares: sum the fractions. Multiply the share price by the denominator and compare with the whole unit's price. A premium of a quarter or more is the cost of the wrapper, not the asset.
- Distances: check the map, not the brochure. Journey times are indicative: the route and traffic conditions affect the time you spend travelling.
- The exit: is assignment written down? If resale rights live in verbal assurances, they do not exist yet. Ask for the clause.
- Legends: is the history real? A project that needs an invented past for its identity will improvise its future the same way.
