Market Research for Multiple Companies - 2

Job ID: 30828580

Budget: $750 – $2,000 NZD

I have an app that allows owners of investment properties to rent these to long term tenants in an entirely
digital manner – removing the need and expense associated with traditional property managers / real estate
agents.

Through the App, owners can list their property for rent, seek applications from tenants, approve
maintenance, receive regular digital property inspections. Tenants, through use of Sam complete digital
inspections, host open homes on behalf of owners, raise maintenance requests.
In a number of markets the cost of property management is around 10% of gross rental received plus additional costs for re-letting, renewals etc.
With the emergence of Airbnb and other short term holiday rental platforms, many owners are now familiar with the concept of digitally renting their properties; likewise many tenants are familiar as guests and vice versa.

We wish to understand the most attractive global markets for the business, and seek the services of a
researcher who can research, analyse, compile relevant information so we can make informed decisions on which markets to enter first and any barriers which would need to be overcome.
Key information required by the top 25 countries who use AirBnB:
• Total population, major centres and population of same

• Major real estate / property management websites / apps in country / region
