Long-term rental The property is currently overpriced at €387,000, which is 35.6% above the fair value of €249,229. With a gross yield of only 3.9%, the potential return does not justify the high purchase price in a market that may not support such valuations. Family rental Although the neighborhood and apartment condition are rated at 76/100, indicating decent living standards, the current price of €387,000 is significantly above the fair value of €249,229. The yield of 3.9% further highlights that the cost is too high for families seeking a sustainable rental option in the Greater Porto area. Buy-and-hold Investing in this property at €387,000 presents a considerable risk, as it is overpriced by 35.6% compared to the fair value of €249,229. The low gross yield of 3.9% suggests that holding onto the asset may not provide the expected returns over time in a fluctuating market environment.
Economic Dependency Risk: With both economic stability and tenant stability rated at 75/100, there is a moderate risk that external economic factors could negatively impact tenant retention and rental income stability.
