Corner residence at the Embassy Suites Orlando with dual exposure, pool views, and nightly fireworks from three rooms.
An oversized two-bedroom corner suite on the fourth floor, sleeping up to eight, with exposures on two faces instead of one — the park side and the pool side. Owner-reported
Windows on two faces rather than a single outlook — light and views on both sides.
The sightline runs 5.7 miles north-northeast to the castle. By road it is 21 minutes.
Visible nightly from the balcony, the living room, and the master bedroom.
The second face overlooks the resort pool deck and lagoon complex.
≈1,180 sq ft · floor plan states 1,200 A/C sq ft
The agreement grants no fixed number of owner nights per year. Personal Use is by written request at least 30 days ahead, and §72 states there is no guarantee the unit will be available regardless of when the request is made — a confirmed hotel booking always takes precedence. On top of that, these dates are closed to owner use entirely.

Realized appreciation from the purchase price to the January 2026 URAR appraisal, projected forward at an editable rate. The default is the property’s own realized CAGR — a short-run trend from a single appraisal, not a market forecast.
Property value — realized, then projected
Solid = interpolated along the realized CAGR between two known points. Dashed = projection at your rate.
| Point | Date | Value | Cumulative gain | Net equity | Type |

Income is allocated against the raise — $10,000 of a $100,000 raise receives 10% of the rental income. Equity is allocated against the property — your dollars buy their own dollar value and track appreciation. Two different denominators, on purpose.
Drives all four tiers. Income is held flat at the annualized rate and taken as cash; equity compounds at the projection rate from section 05.

An HEI is not a loan. The investor pays cash today for a share of the home’s future value, settled in a single payment at the end of the term.
| Step | Formula | Amount |

Growth of the same amount, four ways
Compounded annually. The two property lines are the same asset — dashed is appreciation alone, solid adds rental income taken as cash.

Purchase price and date from closing records. The $640,000 value and market conditions are from the URAR appraisal effective Jan 20, 2026. Property tax of $8,556 is the 2025 actual bill. The realized CAGR is computed from those two value points over the holding period you set — it is a two-point calculation on a single asset, not a market index.
Figures come from —. Annualization multiplies the period total by 12÷—, which carries that period’s seasonality with it.
Section 03 figures are road routes, computed with the OSRM routing engine from the building at 28.34102° N, 81.61169° W. Times are free-flow — they carry no traffic, tolls or parking-and-tram time, so real journeys to a park gate run longer, particularly at opening and closing.
Destinations are the points you drive to, not park centres. Magic Kingdom has no public road to the castle, so it is routed to the Transportation & Ticket Center; routing to the castle instead would overstate the trip by about a mile. Times are shown as approximations because independent routing engines disagree by several minutes on these trips — the embedded live route is provided so any figure can be checked directly.
The single straight-line figure retained on the page is the 5.7 mile, 19° north-northeast sightline to Cinderella Castle, which is what supports the fireworks view — not a travel claim. By road the same trip is 10.8 miles.
The property is listed as a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel offering a “complimentary shuttle to Walt Disney World Resort,” and separately a complimentary shuttle to the Promenade. Some third-party listings describe park transportation as part of a daily resort charge rather than free-standing. Confirm current schedules and terms with the property before relying on this in a guest-facing or investor-facing claim.
Bed configuration, room count, kitchen, balcony, in-suite equipment and the breakfast and evening-reception amenities are from the operator’s published listing. Note a minor discrepancy in area: the listing states approximately 1,180 sq ft while the type C-2 floor plan states 1,200 A/C sq ft. Both are shown rather than picking one.
The hero is an owner-supplied photograph of the resort at Sunset Walk at night, taken from an upper floor. It is a real photograph, not a rendering. The fireworks visible in it are not independently verified as to date, direction, or the room they were shot from. Gallery tiles labelled Stand-in image are district and hotel marketing photographs hotlinked from sunsetwalk.com — they are not images of Unit 404, and remain placeholders pending actual unit photography.
Corner position, the Magic Kingdom and pool exposures, and the fireworks sightlines are owner-reported. They are not drawn from the appraisal and are not priced into any figure here. Suite layout and area are from the operator’s listing and the type C-2 floor plan.
Owner-access terms, the 10% management service fee and the 5% replacement reserve are quoted from the Rental Management Agreement (Sunset Walk / Rolling Oaks); the occupancy caps are from the Declaration of Sunset Walk Hotel Condominium. The 2026 blackout dates were supplied by the owner — the agreement itself references a blackout exhibit left blank in the copy reviewed, and permits the manager to add further blackout periods on notice.
The Jan 2026 URAR noted roughly 258 months of housing supply (severe oversupply) and homes selling at about 89% of list price. An appraised value is an opinion, not a realized sale, and selling costs run roughly 6–8% in commissions, closing and transfer.
The statements cover the unit’s full operating history, but that history contains no complete summer or off-season. March and April were the two strongest months, and annualizing carries that peak into the full-year figure. Figures exclude mortgage principal & interest, capital reserves, insurance deductibles and eventual FF&E replacement.
The appreciation rate extrapolates roughly 1.8 years of one asset’s history and compounds annually. Small changes to that rate swing ending values enormously. Past returns do not predict future returns.
The Rental Management Agreement grants no annual allowance of owner nights. Personal Use requires a written request at least 30 days ahead, ranks behind any confirmed hotel booking, and §72 expressly states there is no guarantee of availability whenever the request is made. 44 days of 2026 — 12.1% of the year, all of them holidays plus a November hotel buyout — are closed to owner use outright, and the manager may add further blackout periods at any time on notice. Owner stays also carry a departure cleaning fee, mandatory housekeeping after every third night, and hotel-style check-in; unpaid owner amounts become a lien against the unit. Anyone valuing this as a use-plus-income asset rather than pure income should price that accordingly.
The agreement reviewed is a blank template: effective date, rental manager, unit number and owner name are all unfilled, and critically §59 leaves the revenue split itself blank (“___% to Unit Owner and ___% to Rental Manager”). What is stated is a Management Service Fee of 10% of Gross Unit Revenue and a replacement reserve of 5% of Gross. The ~50% program share visible on the statements is consistent with those terms plus a split of the remainder, but it is not confirmed by the document. The executed agreement should be obtained before any figure here is relied upon.
The Declaration limits occupancy to 179 consecutive days in any calendar year for any person, and to two persons per bedroom plus two. The 179-day figure is a zoning restriction preventing residential use — it is a ceiling, not an allowance of owner nights.
A slice of an LLC-held property has no secondary market; exit depends on a sale or refinance. Fractional real-estate interests are generally securities — offering them requires proper LLC and operating agreements, disclosures, and securities counsel. Note what the income basis implies for the owner: if a $100,000 raise receives 100% of the rental income, the owner keeps none of it. That is a real concession and should be written into the operating agreement explicitly. Income share is shown before any mortgage payment and before income tax.

These six pages condense a longer document. The complete version carries the month-by-month owner statements, the equity projection table, the 2026 owner-access and blackout calendar, the revenue waterfall, methodology & sources, and the full risk factors — including the soft resale market, the short operating record, unexecuted commercial terms, and the securities treatment of a fractional interest. Read them before acting on any figure here.
