3 Steps to Earn Money with Your Sunshine Coast Property

There are plenty of ways for you to make money with your Sunshine Coast property. Here is a list of a few:

• Bed-and-breakfast
• Renting out a property
• Starting a tour business

This place is a tourist magnet and is visited by tens of thousands each year. However, the hospitality industry doesn’t have enough bandwidth to cater to the demands of the number of tourists that flock to this region. You could do really well by running your own hostel or a bed-and-breakfast. Live the good life and make serious money at the same time. 

Another way to make money is by investing in a property to rent out. The average weekly rent for a three-bedroom unit in this part of the country is more than $900 and if you do the maths after accounting for the mortgage and other costs associated with owning a property, you will come out ahead while adding a high demand asset to your portfolio.

If you are a people person and love to explore nature, you can also make a good living by starting your own tour company in this part of the country.

How to Find a Manager for Your Sunshine Coast Property

Being a landlord is stressful, especially when you do not live there. However, you don’t need to be physically present to make money with your Sunshine Coast property. You can always hire a professional property management company to take care of things. Here’s what you should look at when choosing a property manager:

• Do your own research
• Check reviews by guests and homeowners
• Check their business model
• Carefully go through the contract

Make sure to do your own research and don’t rely solely on the recommendations of others. Don’t forget to check reviews by homeowners as well as guests. Finding reviews shouldn’t be too difficult. Type in the name of the company or address of the property in your favourite search engine and you should be able to find several reviews on popular social media platforms as well as specific review websites. 

Get in touch with the company and make sure you know about their business model. Ideally, they should be local and should have good knowledge of the local area. Also, check the number of properties they manage. Ask them to share the contract you are expected to sign. Go through the contract with a fine-tooth comb and make sure you are comfortable with the management fees, termination clause and other important items.

Conclusion

The Sunshine Coast property market is booming and offers an excellent opportunity to make good money and own an asset that is likely to deliver excellent value for the foreseeable future. However, running a short-term rental business requires a lot of time and can be stressful. This is why you need a professional property manager with good knowledge of the local area and a sole focus on maximising your profit.
