Why Short-Term Rental with Inter Property Beats Long-Term Leasing
Deciding between long-term leasing and short-term rentals can make or break the returns on your villa investment. This blog explains why short-term rentals with Inter Property consistently outperform traditional long-term contracts — delivering higher income, full management, global marketing reach, and the flexibility for you to enjoy your villa whenever you want.
Long-Term Contracts = Lower Returns
Stability shouldn’t mean stagnation.
- — Seasonal upside is missed entirely.
- — ฿60,000/mo → ฿720,000/yr cap.
Short-Term Rentals = Higher Yields
Professional management changes everything.
- ✓ Peak nights: ฿30k–฿40k.
- ✓ Case: ฿1.2M/yr
Long-term leasing may seem like the safe choice, but it comes with an invisible cost: missed opportunity. By fixing your villa to a set monthly income, you shield yourself from fluctuations — but also from the upside of Phuket and Koh Samui’s busiest seasons. Instead of growing with market demand, your property stays capped, limiting its true earning potential.
Short-term rentals open the door to a completely different reality. With dynamic pricing and a steady flow of holidaymakers, owners can take advantage of seasonal highs and premium nightly rates that far exceed what a long-term tenant would ever pay. Combined with expert management, the result isn’t just stronger returns, but also freedom and peace of mind — your villa works harder for you, while you keep the flexibility to enjoy it whenever you like.
