    Illustration only. The expense line is a hypothetical sample, not a fixed percentage charge.

Renovation, furnishing, photography, repairs, replacements and setup are assessed separately.

    The Light Collection Airbnb FAQ

    Which Light Collection phase is best for Airbnb?

    Phase I and II have the longest Airbnb track records and the most permissive management committees. Phase III is newer with stricter vetting — we confirm your specific tower and title before quoting.

    What income can I expect from a Light Collection 1-bedroom?

    A well-furnished 1-bedroom waterfront averaging RM 240/night at 73% occupancy generates roughly RM 3,600 net to the owner per month under our 70/30 revenue-sharing model after actual direct property operating expenses. The sample uses an estimated expense figure for illustration only.
