Hi, I am hoping to get some advice here regarding investing in a riad in Marrakech. I am looking to purchase a modest 3 bedroom riad, somewhere in the medina. It will be a holiday home for my own private use a couple of months a year, and then short term lets on Airbnb for the rest of the year.
Am I right to think that riad prices are quite good at the moment? I am a bit concerned about the holiday let market though. There seems to be plenty of similar riads on booking sites that have received very very few bookings for the rest of 2022. I know tourists have only just started returning to Marrakech, but many of these riad have none bookings at all, ie all dates available.
I have also read somewhere that the riad market is very saturated, not sure how well a small 3 bedroom riad will do these days?
I am financing this purchase with a mortgage. Do you think this is a good investment long term? Any comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks! 🙏🏻
