Even after taxation, this approach is typically more beneficial than holding a vacant property that continues to generate ongoing costs.

In many EU jurisdictions, Live-In Guardianship arrangements may allow property owners to deduct various expenses, including:
- Maintenance and property management costs
- Financing expenses, such as loan interest
- Day-to-day operational costs linked to the building
This can significantly improve net returns.
Using Live-In Guardianship in commercial buildings may provide access to depreciation allowances, depending on local regulations.

Certain temporary housing models may offer VAT optimisation possibilities and holding property through a company structure can unlock corporate tax efficiencies in some EU countries.
