Myself and my husband adore serviced apartments! We first started using them a few years ago and we’ve honestly never looked back! The problem is, hotels are so incredibly expensive! The prices are just astronomical – it’s impossible to stay somewhere really nice without first having to remortgage your house! However when I do go on holiday I do like to have the ‘vacation’ feel to it e.g pools, ‘hotel’ esque staff etc. I don’t want to go somewhere and spend half my holiday cooking and cleaning like I do at home! And that’s why serviced apartments are so great! You get to balance the luxury with price! Plus you get heaps more space which is ideal for me and my husband! Honestly I do really think it’s the future! My brother in law actually invests in them and he seems to do very well from it – so I know it’s becoming a big industry! Is anyone else here a property investor? Have any of you had similar success? To be honest it’s the kind of thing that I’d invest in if I had the money as me and my husband are looking at getting on the property ladder – but maybe for now we’ll stick to maybe student accommodation or something! Who knows! By the way if anyone was looking at investing in serviced apartments or anything – my brother in law showed me this article a few months ago (trying to convince me and the hubby to start on the serviced apartment ladder!) Here’s the article if anyone needed it/wanted to take a look anyway! Hope it helps! x
