Yearly rental

Yearly rental can provide simpler occupancy planning and more predictable lease structure when the tenant profile is suitable.

Holiday homes

Holiday-home strategy may offer flexibility, but it can require stronger furnishing, pricing management, guest operations, approvals, and seasonality planning.
