1. What Is ROI in Property Investment?

  • 📈 Capital appreciation (property value increase)

  • 📉 Tax benefits and net profit on resale

2. Rental Yields by Region (2024 Averages)

📍 Madrid & Barcelona (City Centres)


  • ✔️ Long-term rentals: 3%–4%

  • ✔️ Holiday lets: 5%–7% (licensed)

📍 Costa Blanca

  • ✔️ Holiday lets: 6%–10% (in hotspots like Altea, Jávea, Moraira)
