- North Goa: Candolim, Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Vagat, or It is one of the more popular areas for tourists and, thus, offers good potential for short rentals in the peak season months of November to February—properties within walking distance from the beaches command high rentals.

With investment in the aforesaid types of properties, seclusion-demanding foreign and domestic tourists will certainly have high rental yields.
- Panaji (Old Goa, Fontainhas): Being the capital of Goa, Panaji is a place boasting many cultural attractions. Here, a place can earn steady rental income both from tourists and long-term tenancies, especially in the Fontainhas area with its heritage vibe and Old Goa's appeal to history buffs.
- Panjim and Mapusa: Both towns have a combination of longer-term rental requirements and shorter-term tourist flows. Panjim has the advantage of being close to both beaches and commercial centers whereas Mapusa is a bustling market town and relatively cheaper for property compared with the coastal areas.
2. Property Types of Good ROI:
- Holiday Homes or Villas: These rent very well for short-term income, especially if close to beaches. Villa are one of the favorite types of accommodation for tourists, and they usually book them for a longer period, considering the high season. The returns can be massive here.
- Front Line Beachfront Apartments/Condos: Many are constantly looking for beachfront properties, which usually generate high yields from rentals. Condominiums and apartments located near beaches like Calangute or Baga can be excellent investments and provide returns throughout the year.
- Guesthouses or Boutique Hotels: If you can afford to make this place a bit larger, you may make it a guesthouse or small hotel. This ensures you will have rental revenue pouring in, especially if your location is a tourist destination.
- Studio apartments: These units are inexpensive, require minimal upkeep, and are in constant demand, especially by using lessor couples. Adding studio apartments to prime tourist locations can be a good source of ROI through short-term rental websites such as Airbnb.
3. Best Time to Invest for High ROI:
- Off-season (May to October): The prices of properties come down due to the monsoon in Goa. So, it is a good period to invest in real estate during the monsoon as you can start harvesting rental income during November when the tourist season starts.
- Peak Season (November to February): This is when you will see the highest demand for vacation rentals. If your property is ready by then, you can maximize your rental income during these months.
