Increased demand for pet friendly Airbnb properties in the Sunshine Coast
With the rise of Airbnb as a preferred and first accomodation choice for so many Australians I am surprised that we don’t have more options available for pet owners. Australia is an animal loving nation more than half of us own one or more furry friends, they are very much our fur children and as much a part of the family as any two legged member (dare we say even more favoured than some human relatives) Personally I have my own small menagerie of animals, from chickens and a

5 Star Airbnb Reviews
What do you look for when you are purchasing anything new for the first time? You look for product reviews.. you want to know what other peoples experiences were with this product. It really doesn't matter what it is, could be a local plumbing service, an internet provider, a beauty product, or a hotel. Likewise, everyone wants to know what sort of experience previous guests have had at your property. So how are you going to ensure that everyone leaves you a five star review?

Small touches to enhance a guests Airbnb experience
All Airbnb properties should meet a basic standard of being clean and comfortable. One of the great aspects about Airbnb is that there really is a property to cater for everybody. Personally when I travel abroad I always mix up my stay with a blend of hotel and Airbnb properties. I love the luxuries, services and facilities that can only be found in a hotel or resort but then source Airbnb properties for a way to connect with the local culture or when I just want a place most

Sunshine Coast Property Growth
If you're familiar with some of my other blog posts then you'll know how much I love the Sunshine Coast and why I think it's such an evolving area with huge growth potential! When I say huge I should be more specific. The Sunshine Coast property market is certainly moving forward and it is becoming a highly desirable place for interstate buyers to move to. Historically speaking the growth experienced here, as much of the rest of Queensland, has been slow and steady and at a r

You should invest in the Sunshine Coast
Looking for the next property hotspot? I think I may have found it. After whats been happening in the Property Markets of Sydney, Melbourne and to some extent Brisbane, in the past 12 months, it's easy to see why people are moving their cash to other areas. It seems to me that whilst Sydney and Melbourne experienced an unprecedented frenzy of buying and pushing prices to the point that they were no longer sustainable, the Sunshine Coast quietly plodded along (sounds about rig

How to calculate Yield
Property Investment isn't exactly rocket science but there are some basic concepts you should understand before committing to purchase any property. One of them, is yield and the other is Capital Gains but for now we will look at yield. Yield is an easy one to calculate because its an accurate and for the most part more predictable outcome. I always like to err on the side of caution and calculate what I believe is the most likely amount (which is always the lesser amount) th

Maximise your property profits
Thats what we're here for right? Lets make moolah people! There's so much information out there about styling and furnishing so I don't want to state the obvious again. These days it's as simple as an IKEA or Kmart make over to make your property comfy and stylish, so lets talk about "other stuff" that people might not consider right away. I want to talk about enhancing Guest Experience. Airbnb in itself is a guest and holiday experience, so much so that they added an entire

Airbnb Hosting for beginners
New to the Airbnb world? Well, welcome! You'll be glad you discovered this incredible platform. Airbnb has so many benefits for both guests and hosts alike and it's really revolutionised the accomodation world and how we choose to travel. As an owner you can expect much higher than average returns on your investment property. In nearly all cases you will receive a much higher overall yield per year as opposed to a regular rental property which is leased to long term tenants.

Sunshine Coast Investment Hotspots
These are five of our picks for Airbnb and holiday home investment in the Sunshine Coast.. Noosa Name a more iconic holiday spot.. (maybe Byron, maybe).. Such an icon, so highly desirable as a holdiday destination that it never really has a strong "off season". It's busy and buzzing year round and definitely "the place to be". You will always have strong investment returns here and when time comes to sell.. limited supply, tightly held and has fantastic annual growth. Moolool
