Many property owners hesitate to rent out their properties for fear that they will deteriorate over time. However, the reality is that short and medium-term rentals, when well managed, not only generate attractive income but also protect and maintain the condition of the property far better than traditional long-term rentals.
Why Furnished Long-Term Rentals is not the best option?
In the case of furnished long-term rentals, degradation is generally at its maximum. This is because many clients assume that, in the worst-case scenario, the only loss will be the security deposit paid. With this mentality, significant wear and tear on the property is more likely to occur. In contrast, short and medium-term rentals involve shorter stays and a more rigorous control of the property’s condition, especially since the client expects to recover their security deposit upon departure.
DakarByDays’ Formula for Safeguarding Your Real Estate Investment:
1. Constant Supervision with Our Local Team
Unlike traditional rentals, where the owner might go months without checking on the condition of their property, at DBD we have an on-site team that regularly inspects the accommodations. This allows us to detect any issues in time and resolve them before they become major problems.
2. Rigorous Client Selection
One of the owners’ main concerns is the possibility of having tenants who do not take care of the property. At DBD, we carefully screen our guests by prioritizing profiles seeking stays for professional reasons or for short to medium durations—and who value the responsible use of the property. Moreover, our sales conditions and our code of conduct, which all our clients accept upon reservation confirmation, further reinforce this philosophy.
3. Strict Rules for the Care of the Accommodation and Community Living
All our guests must accept and adhere to a code of conduct that protects the property as well as the community rules with neighbors. This code includes guidelines on the proper use of furniture, noise levels, and general property upkeep, ensuring that the accommodation is treated with the same care that the owner expects.
4. Professional Cleaning According to the Rate
A key aspect of keeping an accommodation in optimal condition is frequent cleaning. At DBD, our rates include a cleaning service that is carried out at least on a weekly basis. Depending on the chosen rate, this cleaning may be daily or every two days, ensuring that the accommodation remains impeccable and that our team can regularly verify the state of the property and confirm that the guest is complying with the rules.
5. Preventive Maintenance and Long-Term Results
At DBD, we do not wait for major problems to intervene. Thanks to our regular visits and continuous communication with our guests, we perform preventive maintenance to avoid deterioration that could affect the long-term investment. A fact that attests to the effectiveness of our model is that, after a year and a half, all our accommodations shine as if it were the first day—or even better. This outcome reflects our commitment to quality and property preservation.
