4 Reasons to Own Properties in Merida for Vacation Rental

Properties in Merida for Vacation Rental

Properties in Merida for Vacation Rental

 Merida, Mexico… it is one of the most under-rated regions in the peninsula. Furthermore, it is home to and visited by some of the most discerning travelers.

Unlike Cancun and its party scene, Playa Del Carmen and its growing hotel vibe, or Tulum and its hippy-chic—Merida remains an authentic Mexican experience.

Visitors to Merida are looking for the classic Mexican architecture and design. The old-world vibe, the authentic Mexican culinary experience, and its exciting festivals and events. This is Merida.

Many visitors have been coming for decades (and reserve the same home every year). In addition, Merida has also been experiencing a new boom as well. On top of the annual visitors, it has a burgeoning bump with 30–40 online entrepreneurs looking for that quiet, authentic experience.

Merida truly has some of the best food in the region, its festivals are unsurpassed, and the community is friendly and welcoming. On top of this, it is one of the best places to purchase vacation rental properties in Merida. Here is why…

Why Vacation Rental Properties in Merida are a Great Investment: 

  1. Repeat Rentals

As we mentioned above, people who go to Merida go for the experience. Many visitors make this their ‘home away from home’ and return annually. Canadian and Northern Americans in the winter, and Southern Americans and Europeans in the summer.

Many want to return to the same place. With a trusted rental where they know they will have a lovely rental. They make up a good chunk of the rental income for Merida vacation rentals. This may sound simple. Even so, having returning visitors who not only pay the rental fees but are great short-term tenants, are important to a vacation-rental portfolio.

  1. Online Entrepreneur Rentals

Merida is quickly becoming a top destination for online entrepreneurs looking for a quiet stay while running their businesses. These stays are typically 2-6 months, but they can be longer stays. They are looking for something authentic, something reasonably central, and need a quiet environment and good internet. The internet options in Merida allow for very decent speeds. These aren’t the party crowds who stay in Quintana Roo. These are business people who want a quiet home and great options to go out for a dinner.

  1. A Solid Investment 

 There are some who say Merida is ‘overpriced’, and it truly is becoming more expensive over time. However, this makes it a solid investment. Prices are increasing year after year… especially if you invest in the right areas (reach out to use to learn the top investment neighborhoods).

It hasn’t experienced the top-end growth of Cancun, Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. Merida is prime for investment as you can not only earn rental income, but the property values are increasing significantly compared to other areas that are slowing down.

  1. Do it for Yourself

Investing in a vacation rental property is about bang for the buck, but at the same time, many owners do want to enjoy the property with their families. Merida is a safe, cultural, foodie, event-centered location for you to enjoy your investment. When it is available, bring your family, and enjoy the culture, architecture, and overall lifestyle.
