Buy-to-let

A few years ago it did not seem like a very tempting business, but nowadays it has become the real estate market's pearl in the hand due to the great demand for rentals. So much so that buying a property and then renting it out has become one of the most common actions of many investors.

The move can be particularly lucrative in large cities or in economically vibrant areas.

• More and more people are interested in rentals. Therefore, the demand for rentals has increased dramatically in recent years and it is easy to find a tenant who inspires confidence.
• It is an excellent source of recurring income.
• It is very advantageous from a fiscal point of view as the State seeks to encourage renting. Thus, landlords will be entitled to a deduction of 60% of the total rent.

Buying a house to sell later

It is also very common to buy a house with the intention of selling it later to a third party.

Opting for a newly built home is another way of investing that appeals to many. The best areas to buy a house will be those neighbourhoods that offer affordable prices, high rental demand, as well as having an optimal range of communications and services.

We must remember that certain cities arouse more interest than others and, consequently, are the best candidates for this type of investment in real estate. According to experts, Madrid is at the top of the list, followed by Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante and Malaga.
