Can I obtain a DTV Visa if I only have one rental property that I manage remotely?

So I have a rental property that I manage remotely. Basically it's one property and I am the landlord. Is that sufficient to get a DTV Visa? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry discusses eligibility for a DTV Visa while managing a single rental property remotely. It appears that managing one property alone may not be enough for a DTV Visa, as some comments suggest having multiple properties could strengthen the application. However, successful examples of similar cases were noted if sufficient proof of management activities and income is provided, pointing towards a possibility of approval based on detailed evidence of operational activity.

For me I got my DTV like this. Managing one property and also renting out 1 unit which I own inside this property. Showed proof of rental payments and proof of payments for my work as manager. Also tax statements. And of course specific describing of my work in a professional Portfolio. Totally freelancer. Got approved in Switzerland.

You should have non B visa ?

Demonstrate how you manage the property, tenants, maintenance, payments, rent collection, repairs etc online. There have been similar property owners to yourself approved.

This only works if your house is owned by your business and you are the director…. Otherwise personally owned it won’t work..

If you had multiple properties yes, but a single property no

hard to believe, was that early on?

why? From the beginning to now. I know myself 3 such DTVERS. One student property has 4 rooms rented out individually which requires management of 4 tenants, 4 sets of repairs, rent collection etc. The DTV does not stipulate a minimum size of business.

4 individual tenants I understand. But letting out your own property with a single tenancy agreement doesn't count as a business in my view

The key is to show how you manage the property online, property size irrelevant. You can rent out a studio apartment and still get the DTV. If you have bought a property and renting it out that's a business. Many successful businesses started small

It is working, but not sure it would work for the DTV. We also survive off rental income. We just went the soft power muay thai route. It was easy peasy.
