In Angel Fire, New Mexico there are several factors that  influeance how much rental income is generated on a property.  When you look at our real estate listngs on WWW.AngelFireNewMexico.US, condo properties that are witin a three block radius are key!  Vacation Renters do not like to have to travel and park at the ski slope if they can avoid it.  Walking distance is a very influential characteristic.  As we all know, "Location, location, location!"

Another factor to keep in mind when looking for rental property is how many beds or "heads" will it sleep.  We have found through the years that the more beds, the more rental.  So consider bunk beds as a way of maximizing the rental potential of a property.

To a lesser degree than the location and occupancy of the property, covered or uncovered parking is sometimes a consideration that will tip a vacationer to choose you over another comparable property.

Also influential is if the unit is on the third floor versus ground floor (less stairs).  A building elevator is also very helpful!

Should I rent out my Angel Fire Condo?

Michael and I are often asked, especially by potential owners, "Should I rent my property in Angel Fire to Vacation Renters when I'm not using it?" The answer is often up to the personal preferences and how the individual feels about having other people in their home and using their personal possessions. If that is not an issue, then we most often answer, "Yes!"

We manage over 100 houses and condos in Angel Fire (http://www.resortpropertiesofangelfire.com/), and while this is not a year round Resort (yet) there is enough demand for Vacation Rentals in Angel Fire, that renting to Vacationers generate nice income. However, the income generated by our rental properties for individual owners, is not a way for the property to pay for itself! It will generally produce enough income to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, Association Dues, Resort Memberships and the like.

Angel Fire condo studios gross about $5500.00 per year, while a three bedroom Angel Fire condo would gross $14,000. In the world of Angel Fire Vacation Rentals, bigger is better. Or as we say, "the more beds for heads the better!"

In our next blogs, we will cover the factors that are advantageous in an Angel Fire Rental Properties. As always, for listings of our properties in Angel Fire, Taos, Eagle Nest, and Cimarron and the Moreno Valley visit us at http://www.angelfirenewmexico.us/.
