Payment plans

Pay your Airbnb buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once

A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when the deposit, stamp duty, furniture and setup costs land. We let you spread it. You start with a retainer from $1,000, which comes off your fee, then choose how to pay the rest.

  • Pay at settlement

    Nothing more until you buy. The balance is paid at settlement, with nothing added.

  • 3 months, interest-free

    Split the balance into three monthly payments, with no interest at any point.

  • 12, 24 or 36 months

    Smaller monthly payments. No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, 0.5% a month applies to what is still owing.

  • Pay it off early, any time

    Clear the balance whenever you like and the interest stops. You pay what is left of the fee, nothing more.

  • Worked out on the price you pay

    Payments start on your estimated price. When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the actual price, and anything paid over is refunded.

  • More cash to set the home up

    Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit, furniture and setup, so the home can start taking bookings sooner.

Illustrative example: on a $1.5M Airbnb purchase our fee is $18,000, GST included. After a $1,500 retainer you could pay the $16,500 balance at settlement, as $5,500 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $687.50 a month on the 24-month plan. Use the Airbnb buyers agent fee calculator to see every option for your price.

    I’ve bought two properties through Scott and both have been excellent buys. He found great value in strong locations, and the growth has been solid. Because of the results from those first two, I’m now in a position to buy another two investment properties and I’ll definitely be using Scott again.

    Dean Erickson · Google review · 2025

  • ★★★★★

    Scott has been awesome throughout my journey. We bought our first investment property with Scott’s help and professional guidance. Would recommend him to any new buyers looking to kick start their investment portfolio.

Common questions

Buying an Airbnb in City of Port Lincoln: questions buyers ask

What does an Airbnb buyer’s agent do in City of Port Lincoln?

We search for and assess homes for short-stay income as well as long-term value, check the short-stay approval pathway for each address, negotiate the purchase and set the home up to take bookings.

Can you help me buy a long-term investment property instead?

Yes. We buy long-term rentals in City of Port Lincoln too. For every property we show both the long-term rent and the short-stay estimate, so you can choose the strategy with the numbers in front of you.

Can I use the holiday home myself?

Yes, but personal use reduces income and some councils limit how often a home can be let when it is also your residence. We check the approval category for the exact address before you buy.

Can Wealth Through Property manage the property after I buy?

Yes. Wealth Through Property can manage the home from settlement day, or run its pricing and listings while you manage the property yourself.
