Algarve Residence - Real Estate in the Algarve - Portugal

Many foreigners choose to invest in the Algarve property market because of its proven ability to provide steady returns and capital growth. Further advantages include ongoing income through property rental, and potential taxation benefits. Importantly, an investment property should be viewed just like any other investment. There are essentially two reasons to purchase an investment property; to build wealth over time, or to obtain an ongoing income. Property in the Algarve caters for both of these needs.

This type of purchase is starting to become very popular with investors that have time on their hands to wait for a property to be build. There is a very good possibility to make a significant return on your initial investment by purchasing "Off Plan". However, BEFORE entering into any off-plan investments DO check out the Estate Agent you are working with and the property developer, who is offering the product. Find out which bank is behind the developer and which other/earlier projects the developer has done. If a local bank offers 70-90% finance, it is a good indicator of a sound project.
