An apartment abroad: high returns or high expectations?
An apartment with a ocean view, guaranteed sunshine, and a 10% annual return? Before we start planning how to spend the profits, it’s worth grabbing a calculator. Because when investing in foreign real estate, just as important as how much you can earn is how much you have to spend to achieve that return.
An apartment abroad with a 10% annual return? It sounds tempting. But how much actually ends up in your pocket?
Investing in foreign real estate may seem like the perfect way to grow your savings.
However, before you’re tempted by an attractive rate of return, it’s worth checking what’s really behind the numbers presented.
The final outcome of the investment is influenced by, among other things:
🔹rental management costs and broker commissions,
🔹taxes and local fees,
🔹property maintenance, repairs, and insurance,
🔹seasonal rental patterns and periods without tenants,
🔹purchase costs, furnishing expenses, and potential financing costs.
At the INRE Fair, you can explore offers for international real estate, talk to exhibitors, and ask questions that will help you realistically assess the investment’s potential.
