The same apartment can earn very differently depending on how you let it. Long-let buy-to-let offers simplicity and stability; short-let (Airbnb-style) can earn more but demands active management. Choosing the right model is half the investment decision.
Buy-to-let: stability
A standard annual let gives predictable income and low management overhead, especially in prime neighbourhoods with corporate and expatriate tenants. Yields are steady rather than spectacular.
Short-let: higher ceiling, more work
In the right location — above all Airport Residential and the corporate core — serviced and short-let units can achieve materially higher gross yields on the back of traveller and corporate demand. The catch is real: active management, higher turnover costs, and occupancy that swings with the season.

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ price. Net yield deducts your running-cost estimate (management, maintenance, voids, service charge). Indicative only — prime Accra residential typically runs ~7–9% gross (8–11% city-wide), higher for short-let & serviced units. Always verify figures with your own due diligence.
