Moreover, now many Phuket developers offer special investment return guarantee programs, so you don’t have to worry about how to rent out your property, the developer will take care of everything. In this case, the guaranteed yield from the rental will be from 5% to 15% per annum. As a rule, such proposals for the return of investment you can get from developers during the construction phase.

In this case, the average yield from the rental, as a rule, is 5% -8% of the property price, depending on the management efficiency and characteristics of the property.
