Long-term rental The property is overpriced at €250,000, significantly above the fair value of €140,340, which results in a substantial 43.9% gap. With a gross yield of only 3.7%, long-term rental viability is diminished given the current financial landscape and competition in the Santo Tirso area. Family rental Considering the family rental market, the property’s price of €250,000 is excessive when compared to the fair value of €140,340, indicating a 43.9% premium. This pricing may limit potential demand from families seeking affordable housing in the area, despite the neighborhood scoring a moderate 68/100. Buy-and-hold The buy-and-hold investment strategy is less attractive here, as the property is listed at €250,000 while fair value stands at €140,340, creating a 43.9% valuation gap. With a fair yield of 3.7% and the property’s average condition and neighborhood rating, this asset's potential for long-term appreciation appears limited due to its overpricing.
Tenant turnover risk The tenant stability score of 70/100 indicates a moderate risk of turnover, which could result in increased vacancy periods and associated costs affecting the investment's profitability.
