FAQ

Rental appraisal questions

Is the rental appraisal really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to use Hauz to manage your property.

How accurate is the appraisal?

It's a projection based on AirDNA data and similar short-term rentals near you. Each report includes a confidence score. Real results depend on presentation, pricing and management.

What is NOI?

Net operating income: projected revenue minus cleaning, booking platform fees and management fees. In the sample report that's $101,720 minus $37,360, or $64,360 a year.

Which costs aren't included?

Utilities, internet, strata or body corporate fees, council rates, insurance, maintenance, consumables and income tax.

Do you appraise houses as well as apartments?

Yes. We appraise apartments and houses across the Gold Coast, based on your property's location and size.

Which areas do you cover?

The Greater Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach and Coolangatta.

What if my building doesn't allow short stays?

Stays under 3 months count as short-term accommodation, and some zones and buildings restrict them. We check council rules and building by-laws for every property before we take it on.

What does Hauz charge to manage my property?

15% of net booking revenue, after platform fees and cleaning. The only set-up cost is professional photography, around $200.
