Low Maintenance Living & Resort Facilities

There is a variety of factors to take into consideration when you’re searching for your next home or investment property. One those factors is whether to purchase in a gated community with an onsite manager or to choose a freehold standalone home.

Community living is popular with buyers looking for low maintenance property, including investors, downsizers/empty nesters and also those who regularly travel and like the security of having someone to keep an eye on things when they cant.

Onsite property managers are there to monitor and protect your investment. You can expect increased security measures and regular external inspections to ensure the properties within the community are kept to a high standard at all times. Not only that, the managers, or a professional appointed by them, will maintain the shared facilities and common areas (such as pools, gardens, barbecues, roads) so you don’t have to.

Usually an owner within the property themselves, the onsite manager is invested in the community. It is in their own interest to ensure all homes and facilities are maintained to a high standard to command premium rents.  Of course maximising rental returns and maintaining a good overall condition also help to keep and increase the value of the properties.

Investors can be assured of maximising viewings of their property if it becomes vacant, as onsite managers can easily show prospective tenants through.  Again, due to the vested interest of the manager, they will screen tenants to make sure they suit the community to avoid potential future issues.

Since they’re local in the area,  the manager also has hands-on knowledge of the community, its unique features and benefits and the target market for potential tenants, as well as knowledge of the local area and hotspots. This can help in securing new quality tenants to the community.
