Hello Deborah
It's good to hear that you're planning to move to King Island.
Rental properties are in very high demand here so my guess would be that you'd have a queue of people looking to rent from you. It would of course depend on where the cottage is you want to purchase.
I assume you've been looking at property through either the
Elders Real Estate or
Harcourts
Both local agents should be able to give you a more informed view of the current rental market on King Island.
Happy hunting!
Chris
