Does Secconda markup or raise monthly operating expenses?

Owners receive operating expenses at cost with no markup, and with all expense statements available upon request. As manager of the Property Company, Secconda will only adapt fees to changes in household expenses. For example, if there is an increase to the insurance cost of the home, expense statements will increase accordingly.

Does the property company have an operating agreement and can Secconda make any changes to it?

Each Property Company will have the equivalent to an operating agreement. However, the terminology and documents will depend on where the Property Company is formed. Secconda will only have limited authorization for non-material changes on behalf of the owners, while any material changes must be subject to ownership vote. In any case, this will depend on each country.
