To invest in real estate you have to consider the new trends. One example is **apartments featuring a lock-off system, which allows you to split the property into two independent units.**
You may not be familiar with the term, as this model isn't as popular as other older, more widespread rental systems. However, **lock-off is becoming increasingly relevant as a new aspect in real estate development, to the benefit of investors looking to generate higher returns.**
## **A more versatile model**
**The Lock-Off system consists of a property where one or more rooms are separated by a door or corridor,** where each space has the necessary equipment and furniture to be used independently.
In other words, a lock-off apartment works as two independent properties. **The owner can use one section and rent out the other, or even rent out both. That way, you get more back while you enjoy a second home.**
## **What lock-off offers**
Lock-off systems improve on the idea of investing in rental properties, due to the modernization of the real estate market, current supply and demand conditions, and the emergence of accommodation platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.
**Now, the future lies in lock-off apartments because they offer versatility and the chance to maximize your investment in the short term.** They also provide alternate uses, a new source of income, and a stronger presence in the vacation rental market.
## **Apartments in Tulum**
Rentals are a very profitable business in Tulum, where you'll find anything from cabins to residences that already incorporate a space division system to make a difference.
**Purchasing an apartment in Tulum is, then, making a smart investment that guarantees better yields, thanks to the increasingly solid implementation of the lock-off model. **
## **Peregrina is your ticket to the lock-off trend**
In Tulum you're always a winner, especially when you invest in developments designed to incorporate the lock-off model. **A perfect place for this is Peregrina: luxury apartments in the heart of nature to make the most of vacation rentals.**
Every unit offers comfort and the experience of being part of your surroundings, which is something travelers always look for, and which will bring you plenty of personal and financial growth.
