Hi, i would like to know if zone 5 is ok in order to buy a studio and make it a airbnb. Is it a Good idea? It is very valuable your advise. Thanks in advance

Hello. Do you mean region 15? Or is there a map that you are looking at that has a zone 5? We are not sure what area you are referring to. Let us know so we can comment. But in addition to just the area, you need to know who the developer is and what their reputation is. A good realtor will know this or can get more information and they can also get the financial statements to see how the project is structured. These things are important because if it is a developer with bad reputation and stops construction, you will be stuck with very litter recourse. This does not happen a lot in Tulum, but it can happen. If you are looking to buy directly from a developer, they will most likely have inhouse salespeople and you will not know the answers to two very important questions. Here is a tip about the more profitable properties since you are thinking about Airbnb. Penthouses, beach views or beachfront, private pools and an iconic look will all be the most profitable. Studios and one bedrooms on the ground floor or on other floors will be average. There is a lot less competition at the tree bedroom unit group and up. Second, it will depend on what type of management you will have on your Airbnb. Will it be you or will or inhouse or listed with an agency? There are pros and cons to all of these, but again, a good realtor can explain the differences and direct you to a property that fits the management style you prefer.

@@cesargarcia5390 Most people know this area as the downtown area but technically is Region 5. This area is no super popular with vacation renters. It is far from the beach, so renters will need bikes or a car to get around. You will be competing with cheaper hotels in the centro also. We don't know if you are thinking long term rentals or short term, but a good tool to look at is Airdna. It is not and Airbnb company, but it does scan sites to tell you the average rental prices per nice in an area and occupancy rates plus tons of other information. Occupancy rates have been lower this year. The Tren Maya is not open yet in Tulum but might not impact that much tourism because it is not as useful as it could be. The condos that you like look to be on the lower end of price spectrum for Tulum. Remember, the lower the price you rent at, usually the cheaper the guests you have, and more hassle you have. Since you are going to use a management company to run the rental, you are going to lose a significant portion of the rent on just management. If this is a casual investment or a long-term investment for you, this might be a good option since this area will raise in value over time due to is location. In the short term though, we don't think you should expect too much of a return on investment. It might be enough to pay the bills, but no more.
