Property Types
Holiday, permanent, corporate or student accommodation
Secondly, you need to decide whether you are interested in managing a:-
- holiday apartment letting out short to medium stays
- permanent complex with units or townhouses with longer term stays
- corporate complex with short to medium type serviced apartments for business visitors
- student complex where typically rooms or complete apartments may be leased out for longer term stays
Location
Firstly it is important for you to understand where you would like to live and whether CBD, Coastal or living in the suburbs are important to you. This decision can be made based on the amount you want to invest and also the type of lifestyle you want to lead.
Balance between lifestyle and income
To find the right property for you to invest in, it is important to understand the balance between where you want to live and what income you expect from the business.
Some people will have the goal to maximise income while some people will place priority on the standard of living in the managers’ apartment.
Of course you can achieve a high standard of both lifestyle and income but the premium properties that do offer this sell quickly. Therefore, it’s important to place yourself in a strong buying position with finance organised prior to finding the perfect property.
Place high importance on your own research by looking at many properties to understand the type of property that you are interested in.
Ownership

Running the business
This involves the management of a letting pool of apartments in the complex on behalf of the lot owners. The individual apartment owners will pay commission and management fees for you to secure tenants/guests, collect rent and ensure the property is kept in good condition. The letting pool excludes live-in owners or owners who want to leave the apartment untenanted(otherwise known as 'lock-ups').
Managers’ Unit
You may own an apartment in the building known as the “Managers’ Unit”, usually this incorporates an office and reception area. Some Management Rights do not have a Manager's unit or office to purchase.
