4. Serviced Accommodation / SA
Serviced Accommodation can be a powerful property strategy when done correctly 🏡🛏️
Instead of renting a property long-term, SA usually involves short-term stays for guests, contractors, professionals or visitors.
The income potential can be higher than standard renting, but it also comes with more moving parts.
You need to consider:
✅ Location
✅ Guest demand
✅ Running costs
✅ Cleaning and management
✅ Furnishing costs
✅ Platform fees
✅ Local rules and restrictions
✅ Occupancy rates
SA is not just about putting a property online and hoping for bookings. The numbers, demand and management need to stack up.
