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.
Why invest in the Algarve?

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.
