1. Where we are
Two houses are open today; two more open in January. The first four cost about ฿30M (฿7.5M each, over budget). ฿3M of cash remains.
Restructuring round of ฿9.0M. Pablo puts in ฿2.38M and keeps 19.83%. A new investor puts in ฿6.62M for 18.06%. Álvaro, Néstor, Kiko and Pui declined their ฿6.02M and are diluted accordingly (section 5).
The land carries 14 houses and we have built 4. Land rent, access, utilities and the brand are already paid for. The next 10 houses cost ฿6.5M each with no land premium, which is why finishing the site is what turns a mediocre 4-house project into a strong one.
Operating terms: 10% booking-platform commission, 10% management fee on gross revenue to the management company, dividends at 80–90% of net profit.

Funding the ฿65M expansion
฿25.0M loan (bank or private) From a bank or a private lender, realistically available from early 2028, drawn against the 2028 and 2029 builds; interest-only while building, then a 10-year annuity from 2030 at 8%. The 2027 houses are not loan-funded.
฿25.0M equity raise 50/50 with the loan: ฿9.0M in 2027, ฿10.0M in 2028, ฿6.0M in 2029, pro-rata to the new cap table or from a new partner.
฿10.9M retained proceeds Dividends keep flowing through the build at 85% of profit; only the retained 15% plus depreciation goes into construction.
Gap: ฿4.1M. With dividends paid every year, ฿25M + ฿25M + proceeds falls ฿4.1M short in 2028–29 (฿0.9M in 2028, ฿3.1M in 2029). Three ways to close it: lift the equity raise to ฿29.1M; lift the loan to ฿30M (equity stays at ฿25M, IRR 24.1%); or pay 80% instead of 85% during the three build years (gap shrinks to ฿2.9M).
How the returns are measured
Equity IRR is computed on the partners' own money only: ฿33M already in, plus the ฿29.1M raise, against the dividends they receive. The loan is not partner money. Interest and principal are paid out of the company's cash flow before any dividend, and the partners keep 100% of the equity while the project grows from 4 to 14 houses. Project IRR is the same project with no debt at all (unlevered). Equity IRR above project IRR means the loan at 8% is accretive: the houses earn far more than the debt costs.
Why finishing the site matters. Keeping only the 4 existing houses gives an equity IRR of 15.9% and 7.0x with payback in 2033. The full 14 houses give 23.7%, 13.1x and payback in 2033, because the fixed costs and the phase-1 overrun are spread over 3.5× the revenue.

How revenue is calculated
For each house and each season: nights booked × nightly rate, modelled as weeks × 7. Expected nightly rates: high season ฿9,000–12,000, mid season ฿6,000–9,000, low season ฿5,000–6,000; the base case uses the midpoints ฿10,500 / ฿7,500 / ฿5,500 (฿73,500 / ฿52,500 / ฿38,500 per week). Rates grow 3% a year from 2028. Occupancy starts at ~70% in 2027 (36 booked weeks per house), reaches 80% in 2030 and holds ~81% (42 weeks) after that. Houses that open mid-year count for the months they are open.

Example 2027: 4.67 house-years × (14 wks × ฿73,500 + 12 × ฿52,500 + 10 × ฿38,500) = 4.67 × ฿2,044,000 = ฿9.54M. 10% goes to the booking platform and 10% to the management company before any operating cost. Costs: maintenance, utilities and cleaning per house, fixed admin and marketing, land rent per the contract (5% step every 3 years), 3% of revenue reserved for refurbishment; all inflate 3% a year.
4. Cash to partners, year by year
Ordinary dividend (85% of net profit)Special distribution (surplus cash once debt-free)Equity raise
2027–2029: build years, dividends still paid. ฿3.2M in 2027, ฿6.3M in 2028, ฿11.2M in 2029 (85% of profit each year) while the equity raise and, from 2028, the loan fund the 10 new houses.
2030: first full year with 14 houses: ฿12.9M paid out, a 20.8% cash yield on all equity ever invested. ฿14.5M by 2032 (23.3%), ฿17.2M by 2036 (27.7%).
2039: loan fully repaid; surplus cash above a ฿6M reserve is released (฿51.6M that year). From then on the company pays out essentially all free cash, ฿32.6M a year by 2046.
Payout 80% vs 90% moves IRR only from 23.3% to 24.0%, but changes how much equity the build needs (฿27.9M vs ฿30.3M). Recommendation: 85%, with the surplus sweep once debt-free.

Reading the table. "Paid in to date" allocates the ฿24M of pre-round capital by 2025 ownership plus the new money. Alberto and Stefanos show a higher multiple because they keep 15% on original terms without dilution. The new investor puts in ฿11.9M in total (฿6.62M now, ฿5.3M across the 2027–29 raise) and receives ~฿147M over the lease. A partner who does not follow the raise is diluted again; alternatively the raise can be taken by a new partner at a valuation to be agreed.

At the bottom of the rate ranges the project still returns 20.0%; at the top, 27.3%. A 15% miss on occupancy gives 20.2%.
If the new houses overrun like the first four (฿7.5M each), the equity needed becomes ฿38.8M and IRR 21.7%. Fixed-price build contracts are the single most valuable protection.
Stopping at 4 houses is the worst outcome for every partner: 15.9% IRR, 7.0x, and a 24.5% average yield instead of 48.0%.
7. Decisions we need from the partners
Approve the restructuring round (฿9.0M: Pablo ฿2.38M, new investor ฿6.62M) and the resulting cap table.
Approve the management agreement at 10% of gross revenue, and the dividend policy at 85% of net profit with a surplus sweep once the loan is repaid.
Commit to the build-out schedule (6 houses by Sep 2027, 10 by Jul 2028, 14 by May 2029) with fixed-price contracts at ≤ ฿6.5M per house.
Commit the equity raise of ฿25.0M across 2027–29 (pro-rata or a new partner) and decide how to close the ฿4.1M gap: larger raise, ฿30M facility, or 80% payout during the build.
Start the lender process now, bank or private, so the ฿25M facility is in place by early 2028, when the first 2028 drawdown is needed.
8. Assumptions to verify before this goes out
The ฿3M cash is assumed to be the balance after the ฿9M round. If it is before, the company holds ฿12M and the 2027–28 equity need shrinks by ฿9M.
Pre-round capital of ฿24M allocated by 2025 ownership; replace with the actual paid-in ledger per partner.
Loan (bank or private): ฿25M, no drawdown before early 2028, 8%, interest-only to 2029, 10-year annuity from 2030. Pending a term sheet; the "10%" row shows the downside, the "฿30M" row the upside.
Tax simplified to 20% corporate tax, no loss carry-forward; dividend withholding (10% for individuals) not deducted.
Land-rent schedule assumes model Y1 = contract Y1; shift if the contract clock started earlier.
Nightly rates are the midpoints of the expected ranges (฿9–12k / ฿6–9k / ฿5–6k); the scenario table shows both ends. Occupancy 70% → 80% is the current view. Replace both with 2027 actuals at the first review.
