Are you a property investor curious about property investment and the future of short-term rentals in Western Australia, especially with the rise of Airbnb. Overall, property investment has always been a popular choice for Australians to build a long-term source of income. However, with the possibility of a crackdown on short-term rentals in WA, property investors need to consider the risks and rewards of this income stream.

The importance of property investment

Over the years, property investment has been an excellent way to diversify your income streams, but it’s crucial to research and seek professional advice before making any decisions.

As Kerry Cable, Strand Legal and Conveyancing’s Business Manager, highlights, the property investors she deals with at settlement express concerns about the impact of a possible government ruling on short-term Airbnb accommodation in Western Australia.

Currently, no laws govern short-term rentals, but the Western Australian government is reportedly considering introducing regulations soon. If these regulations are enacted, investors’ property values and income potential could significantly decrease. For example, if short-term rentals are restricted or banned altogether, investors may find it more challenging to attract tenants and see a decrease in their rental income.
