Yes, CoC will be low in PT, it is the same in Colorado too, but property appreciation is very high. The way to increase CoC will be to look at sub-letting / house-hacking / student accommodation, or short-term rental (STR). For example you can take a T4+, and rent out each room separately, or go for T0-T2 and look at STR. It will depend on what fits the property find and the area it is in. So a T0 near a beach is ideal for STR, a T6 near a Coimbra Polo is great for students.

There are some additional items you can deduct in taxes under STR, but you get a lower rate of tax under LTR that continues to reduce as you renew those tenants. So it might help to look at the taxes too.

Thank you for your help, I will analyze those numbers also not only the CoC!

Hi Mark, thank you for the reply and the motivation!

I will make sure I check the numbers before I buy my first property!

By the way, I'm struggling to find a CoC above 5 %, do you think it's acceptable in Portugal ?

Hello,

I'm new on the forum and I'm from Portugal.

2 years ago I bought an apartment, where I live now, and I have the opportunity to sell now for a 74k profit.

I've always wanted to get into the real estate business, but I never had the money to start.

I've bought my apt under construction 2 years ago, and now I can sell it for 74k profit.

I have the idea to buy 3 apartments, max 100k each with all the costs rehab inc. and give a 20 % downpayment on all of them. Rent 2 of them and 1 of those needs to be for me and my gf to live.

I check all the new listings everyday, and I already have 4 or 5 that fit my criteria.

Do you think is viable? Or there is more viable options for me ?

thank you and have a nice day!
