Victoria is the first Australian state to legislate a levy on revenue generated from short term accommodation platforms such as Airbnb and Stayz. The 7.5 per cent levy will commence from 1 January 2025 as is an attempt to tackle the ongoing rental crisis, which many politicians blame on the rise in popularity of short term letting platforms such as Airbnb. Although Victoria will be the first to implement an 'Airbnb tax', other states have already flagged their intention to review, and most likely implement a similar system. In today's show, we cover; whether this is fair or another case of government meddling, if it still makes sense to rent a property on a short term basis, tips and tricks for prospective owners of Airbnb properties, and when is the 'right' time to pay down investment property debt? Quirin Schwaighofer, co-founder of short term accommodation management company MadeComfy, joins James Gerrard founder of www.financialadvisor.com.au on today's show.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The holiday season is just around the corner, which means there will be great demand among vacationers seeking short-term rentals. In this timely episode, our editor sits down with Abigail Howells, Inbound Sales Manager with MadeComfy. to discuss hot areas for rental properties and trends you should keep an eye on for great returns on your short-term rental investment.

In this week's edition of the Elevate podcast, Samantha McLean talks to Mike Johnson of MadeComfy, a short-term letting platform. Many of your investor clients out there have probably heard stories from colleagues and friends about how much money can be made on places like Airbnb and Booking.com, but not every property and every situation will bring high returns -- and some properties are still much better suited to long-term tenants. In this episode, Mike breaks down how MadeComfy is working with agents to help them manage buyers, what type of properties are best suited to short-term letting, what the service expectations are, and where this legislation and trends in this area might be headed in the future.

Property investors - especially in strata buildings – should switch to holiday rentals instead of long-term tenancies if they want to maximise their profits, says the founder of a company that manages Airbnb-style properties on behalf of landlords. According to MadeComfy co-founder Sabrina Bethunin, a report her company commissioned shows says that short term holiday letting rates are now on a par with hotel room rates. In case you haven’t heard of them before, Madecomfy provides a complete management service, from handing over keys to changing bed linen and cleaning the house or apartment. This is for Airbnb and other internet letting hosts who don’t want to have to deal with their guests directly – an arms-length, never-meet-the-tourists arrangement that Airbnb calls ‘sharing’. You can here an interview with Ms Bethunin on ABC News Radio here.

Quirin says his journey into the short-term rental market began when, as a frequent traveller, he identified an opportunity to monetise his absence by listing his property online. However, dealing directly with online platforms soon proved difficult when managing people's expectations, leading Quirin to co-found MadeComfy – an end-to-end service provider empowering property investors to maximise their returns by leveraging online platforms in the short-term rental space. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant and the team from MadeComfy give listeners insight into the key differences between short-term versus long-term rentals as well as how property investors can ensure they’re getting the most out of their portfolio.
