Transforming a property into a sustainable, long-term investment is not a straightforward process. It requires careful strategy, a deep understanding of market trends and round-the-clock attention to detail.
But, that’s exactly what we’ve done for Michael, a property investor from Europe, for his investment property.
Find out how Nestify generated 41.8% more rental revenue compared to long-term letting for him. Also, through his ongoing success, he bought a second property.
The Investment
He purchased an apartment in Dubai.
Location: Dubai Marina
Type: 3-bedroom apartment
The Challenge
Michael knew what he wanted: an investment property that generated maximum ROI.
He researched long-term letting but found the RERA-controlled rental price regulations too limiting. The 12-month notice period also meant that he would be restricted if he needed to regain possession for renovations, personal use, etc.
He decided to contact Nestify for a hybrid letting strategy that would maximise his rental income while still allowing flexibility.
| Set up and marketing The apartments needed to be furnished, listed on Airbnb and other booking platforms and managed on a daily basis. | Daily Management Living abroad, he couldn’t be there to oversee his property, do cleaning and undertake maintenance. | Pricing and ROI optimisation He didn’t have the time to monitor pricing trends, seasonal demand and other factors impacting his apartment’s revenue. |
