Cheekee 2 Posted September 25, 2022 We moved to Perth in January 2007 in the middle of a massive real estate crisis but we secured a furnished rental in Joondalup months in advance. This was obviously so helpful having an address for 2 months whilst we we secured long term rental whilst building for next 2 years. Anyway I’ll get to my point We’ve had a fantastic time, Perth has been everything we’ve wanted & it’s home but we fancy an adventure & plan to go travelling around the world for 12 months. In order to do this we thought we could rent out house out furnished for 12 months & get an agent to handle it. My preferred choice would be to let to migrants like we were but the rentals were advertised on forums similar to this so I thought I’d gage if there is still a market for this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calNgary 9,252 Posted September 25, 2022 With hotels and Air BnB 's becoming harder to secure and short term rentals pretty non existent id say you wouldn't have a problem letting it out. I wouldn't necessarily restrict it to just migrants though, back when i did similar i hosted lots of interstate workers too, they preferred a house to hotel if there was 5 or 6 of them.. Just make sure you use a reputable agent. Cal x 1 If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it. Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it...

Chortlepuss 426 Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) There are many people moving temporarily who don’t want to fight for a rental and go to the trouble of furnishing it. We are in Brisbane in a very ordinary lowset house in a not particularly flash area. We also have a cat that needs care. Advertised our property as a furnished all inclusive rental for 5 months next year whilst we are in the UK and got a lot of interest from lovely prospective tenants. The alternative (Airbnb, service accommodation) is formidably expensive. I’d imagine you would have no problems - but get a good property manager.

Cheekee 2 Posted December 23, 2022 We are using a holiday letting company & we are just getting the personal stuff packed away. We are being promised incredible returns & the agent is close by looking after it. Rates are 15% but if they bring in what they believe it’s well worth it.
