Thailand is geographically placed in the center of Southeast Asia.  The country has promoted business opportunities with surrounding nations and has established itself as one of the premier global tourist destinations.

Investment & Holiday Home

Investment income and a secondary home. Generate income and a lifestyle investment

Looking to earn a rental income and have a second or holiday home?  Thailand is a attractive choice.  When looking to maximize returns and lifestyle benefits there are two main options.

Developer Rental Management Programs – Some projects offer onsite rental management program which can be an ideal hands off investment that allow owners some personal use during each calendar year.  The owner's usage time is usually around 30-90 days a year.  These projects are operated like resorts with the operator and owners benefiting from the rental income.

3rd Party Management Companies - Those looking to utilize the property more frequently may prefer the flexibility that a 3rd party private management company can provide. This is a great option if the owners are looking for more options, want to use their holiday home more frequently or a rental management program is not provided.   These companies handle all details associated with managing the property while the owner is away.
