An agent i was dealing with gave me a figure of 97% occupancy in the Red sea area !!
This after several emails has moved to 25% occupancy and £100 per week in the low season, which in my opinion is pretty poor for a 2 bed 2 bath in Regency beach.
So in a nutshell i'll get 3 months rent £1200,,, out of which £800 will go for maintainance and also an uknown as yet figure for the management of my apartment.
If i double there occupancy to 50% its still not great and my £70,000 GBP would earn more sat in my high interest account, ofcourse the capital gain must be taken into consideration but thats only when youre looking at selling.
I have shops here in the UK returning me much more, and 100% occupancy.
At the end of the day with a developing area nobody can say for sure what you'll get.
Just because theres loverly new apartment blocks etc etc doesnt mean you'll get it rented, just look at several other countries that are and have had the same developement in them, too many apartments empty as theres just not enough tourists to go round, its simply down to supply and demand.
