- Resale liquidity and buyer profile for the asset type
Due diligence
Risks most buyers overlook
- Regional and seasonal demand; liquidity not uniform across the island
- Residency and tax rules subject to change; legal verification essential
- Build quality and delivery risk in off-plan; developer due diligence matters
- Exit liquidity limitations in secondary locations
- Unrealistic yield expectations; occupancy and costs determine real returns
Fit
Who this market is for — and who should skip
Right for

Better to avoid
Buyers seeking short-term flips or assuming uniform liquidity; those unwilling to verify legal and tax position; or anyone not prepared to align expectations with regional and seasonal demand.
