There’s a curious circumstance, to say the least, in homes bought to rent.
And by the way, there are more and more of these. We’ve spread the idea that putting the money you save into properties is the best option, and we’re constantly getting buyers who come here to invest but aren’t going to stay.
But back to what I was saying, I’m getting sidetracked…
Well, I find that, in many cases, spaces in coastal homes that were meant for sun loungers and umbrellas, solariums, and terraces are being eliminated and are being filled with solar panels.
These are houses, many of them several decades old, that have been bought solely as a business. The owner isn’t going to enjoy it, and if they occasionally do so out of season, they won’t mind a little discomfort in exchange for the money they earn.
Because it’s been studied that clients are increasingly less likely to stay in rented homes to sunbathe. On the contrary, they enjoy their pool and use it as a place to sleep or cook a quick meal.
Customers come to move around and consume. They consume sunshine, mojitos, and electricity.
And the owner wants to avoid, at all costs, the air conditioning bill from crushing his profits.
