hospitality property acquisition

Acquiring a property for Airbnb short and medium-terms rentals in South Africa is a challenge to many local and foreign potential investors due to regulatory by-laws by many municipalities across the country. However, many property owners in South Africa have listed their properties on Airbnb and other OTA platforms without seeking for re-zoning approvals for short and medium term rental operations.

Our municipalities are lenient to these property owners as they go unchecked, but strict to registered guesthouse owners and potential investors willing to do the same business honestly.

Our company strive to navigate through these challenges to ensure compliance with the by-laws in collaboration with real estate agents, and town planners in the municipalities to expedite the re-zoning process. 

These challenges ranges from property re-zoning on stand-alone properties, and negotiating with body corporates and trustees to make provision for short-term rentals in sectional titled apartments and houses in secured and gated units.

b. hospitality market research

We conduct a vigorous hospitality market research on specific areas and locations before searching and identifying suitable properties available in the real estate marketplace. So far we have analyzed all the available property listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO Johannesburg Metropolitan and identified high demand and low supply of quality listings available for national and global travelers visiting the city.

Therefore, we can comfortably guarantee the lucrative market opportunity available for short-term rentals and we're inviting potential investors from all over the world to invest in South Africa especially the City of Johannesburg in Gauteng. The market research report is available on request to potential investors willing to explore the Airbnb space in Johannesburg.

Our data-driven business planning model zoom-in from city to individual property informed by all the active listings data from all major OTA' platforms, matched to active property listings from major Real Estate platforms to determine the potential hospitality value and  revenue from each property in any area. 

Other economic, demographic, and psychographic data is analyzed to validate the potential market and profits based on current occupancy rate, ADR of all active listings in any area. Our reports are then used to apply for property rezoning to municipalities, and sell real estate properties as commercial with added property value.
