From this article you will learn how to rent property in Bulgaria and make money on it, as well as the stages of renting property, options, etc.

If you already have property in Bulgaria and you do not want to sell it, or your property is on sale and you do not want to lose profit at this time (the sale can last several months, and even during the season), the solution for you may to be — renting an apartment.First, some introductory information. Every year, more than 10 million tourists visit Bulgaria on average. Most of them prefer to rent apartments rather than live in hotel rooms. Today, the Bulgarian coast offers a fairly large selection of apartment complexes with a closed territory and hotel services, taking into account this — the demand for rental housing is quite high.

Before you can decide to rent your own apartment for rent, you need to answer two basic questions: how to find tenants? And how to organize housing services if you do not live in Bulgaria?Owners usually have two options:

(1) to entrust an external management company (usually the same company that serves the entire residential complex) with all issues related to rental management (receiving guests and handing over keys, minor repairs, house cleaning, resolving force majeure domestic issues, checking apartment after guests check out) or2) do everything yourself. With this option, it is still possible to use auxiliary tools that can significantly facilitate the search for customers, for example (the use of specialized platforms, such as ours, bulgaria-holiday, which have wide advertising opportunities and through which potential tenants are just looking for vacation options).

As practice and our own experience show, without outside help, dealing with the whole spectrum of issues regarding rental housing is, if not impossible, then very difficult, and sometimes very expensive. At a minimum, this requires a personal presence on site and free time.Let's consider these options in more detail:

The first option — you contact the intermediary (management company). You give him the keys, forget about the worries of meeting the guests, transferring the apartment, organizing his cleaning, and in exchange you receive money. The disadvantages of this option are that management companies do not always have their own sites and do not search for tenants. The management company takes upon itself communication with customers, but not on all issues (solutions to household issues can still remain with you), the process of finding customers and booking can also remain with you.Management companies receive and accommodate arriving guests on a hotel basis (a free apartment in one category). In addition, management companies can not always solve the problem of possible failures, find alternatives to avoid downtime even in high season.

The second option — renting out via the platform (as described above) is advantageous in that potential tenants come through them. A convenient search system, customer support in the selection of suitable options, a competent description of the apartment and its advantages, beautiful high-quality photos, as well as advertising organized by the platform itself, do their job. Through the use of platform services, significant downtime of real estate during the season can be avoided. In addition, the platforms take upon themselves the process of booking and renting (partially or in full) from the client with further transfer to the owner. In case of failure, the platform has the ability to attract new customers.By joint efforts, on the part of the owner — providing the apartment with everything necessary, and on the platform side selecting a convenient option for guests, you can even create a base of regular customers who will come back again and again.

So, what can you count on when renting out housing. The season in Bulgaria lasts a maximum of 4–5 months, of which only two can be called high — July and August (by August the sea warms up completely and you can swim before the beginning of October, but the children start school, so there is a decline in customers). In addition, it is important to remember that the likelihood that housing will be rented every day is extremely small.In reality, you can count on average 50–70% of the occupancy of an apartment in one season. To ensure that housing is not empty, it is necessary to interest customers with a competitive price, because an overpriced price will make your offer not attractive. The owner can determine the prices himself, but you must understand that the number of bookings per season depends on this. The cost varies and depends on the situation (not only furniture, but also the availability of household appliances) of the apartment, its number of storeys, as well as the remoteness of housing from the sea, shops, the airport, convenient logistics. How successful the season as a whole (number of tourists, economic situation) can also play a role. In addition to attractive prices, in order to interest guests, your apartment must meet certain criteria. There are no strict requirements, but there are recommendations proven over the years and experience. We recommend having a variety of cookware necessary for cooking — pots, pans, a set of cutlery, plates, etc. Necessarily bed linen, towels — including replacement spare sets for the number of all beds. Sleeps should be as much as possible. Moreover, it is better when the bedroom has beds, rather than folding sofas (which have a higher level of wear, while they are not so comfortable for sleeping).A huge advantage is the presence in the apartment of a variety of household appliances — a refrigerator (full, not mini), an oven, a microwave, an electric kettle and, of course, a washing machine (by the way, it is an essential factor for families with children or for relaxing for a long period of more than 5 days). Apartments with such equipment can be rented more expensively, but they are also more likely to rent such real estate (less downtime during the season). Believe me, it is very important for any family with children to have everything they need at hand, especially since such guests come for a long period (up to 1 month or longer).Investing in real estate makes sense and is recommended to save money from inflation (using a bank deposit, this can not always be achieved). It makes sense to invest in Bulgarian housing, as it is cheaper than in other countries (Croatia, Spain, Thailand, Tenerife) and makes it possible to earn income (relatively regular), as well as to be able to come at any time.
