Rent-to-rent is a real estate strategy where an individual or company rents a property from an owner, with their permission, to sublet it to tenants at a higher rate, generating profit from the difference. In Jamaica, this model is emerging as an innovative solution for real estate investors looking to capitalize on the island’s rental market without owning property, especially in tourism-driven areas or urban centers like Kingston and Montego Bay. Globally, rent-to-rent is popular in regions with high rental demand, such as the United Kingdom, where it’s often used for house shares (HMOs) or short-term lets via platforms like Airbnb. This strategy works well in markets with a housing shortage or where individuals seek flexibility over ownership. Typically requiring lower initial capital, it offers opportunities to earn steady cash flow and gain property management experience. However, it demands strong ethical practices, regulatory compliance, and effective tenant management to succeed, making it a versatile option for real estate professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide.
