Making a strong case for Dubai property owners to go with short-term rentals
Dubai is now a popular travel spot for both business and leisure travelers. Many people are choosing to stay in rental properties, creating a great opportunity for property owners to earn extra income.
Let's compare short-term and long-term rentals. Factors like profit, booking frequency, property location, management, maintenance, and flexibility are crucial when deciding on a rental plan.
For example, renting a property in Downtown Dubai for short-term purposes can yield around 33% more income over three years compared to long-term renting. Short-term rentals also offer flexibility in adjusting rent based on demand, potentially leading to better returns.
Short-term rentals have other advantages, such as the potential for higher gross income. Owners can easily adjust rent prices to match market rates, generating 3-4 times the rent of a long-term rental based on demand. Managing short-term rentals is also easier with services like property management, taking care of furnishing, utilities, and housekeeping.
Flexibility is another perk of short-term rentals, as property owners have the option to sell the property. Long-term rentals, on the other hand, may come with the risk of dealing with difficult tenants, leading to delayed rent payments or property damage. Evicting a long-term tenant can be time-consuming and expensive.
Considering the booming tourism in Dubai, property owners may find short-term rentals more profitable. It's a good idea for them to explore this option and capitalize on the growth in tourism to earn extra income.
