Long-term rental The 1-bedroom apartment in Santa Marinha e São Pedro da Afurada is overpriced by 43.9% compared to its fair market value of €117,924, making this investment less attractive for long-term rental. With a gross yield of 4.3%, this property does not justify the elevated price point given its mediocre condition and neighborhood score.
