Apartments for short-term rental

For an investor it's the return that counts, not the square metres

A short-term rental apartment is judged differently from a home. What matters is the location for guests, a layout that sleeps four in a small space, the building rules and realistic year-round occupancy.

Before a purchase I prepare a simple calculation: purchase and fit-out price, expected revenue, management costs and fees, payback in years. That way you decide on the numbers, not on the listing photos.

Selling an apartment with a rental business

If you are selling a unit that already earns money, I present it to buyers as a turnkey business: revenue history, guest reviews, the operator agreement. A listing like this reaches a different buyer than an ordinary apartment and often sells faster.

Investment opportunities

The agency I work with offers, among others, rental-ready apartments with spa access in Zieleniec and apartments in central Wrocław. I am currently selling two apartments in Atal City Square with an operating rental business and over 260 guest reviews. You will find the rest under properties.

Rules on short-term rentals and their taxation are changing. Before buying, check the tax model with a tax adviser.

Investors' questions

Can you help me buy a short-term rental apartment?

Yes. I look for units in locations with tourist and business demand, calculate revenue, costs and return, and check the building rules.

Do you sell apartments with an operating rental?

Yes. For an investor, an apartment with a revenue history and guest reviews is a turnkey business that can be shown in numbers.

What should I watch out for with short-term rentals?

The building rules, short-term rental regulations, taxes and realistic off-season occupancy. It is worth consulting a tax adviser before buying.
