Long-term rental This property, with a listing price of €255,000, is overpriced, exceeding its fair value of €222,791 by 14.5%. The 4.3% gross yield suggests that the return on investment may not justify the elevated purchase price, particularly given its moderate condition and neighborhood ratings of 71 and 70 respectively. Student housing While the location near Porto city center could attract students, the current price point positions the property as overpriced, limiting potential profitability. The demand for student housing may not be sufficient to warrant the €255,000 listing, especially considering the average yield of 4.3% which falls short in a more competitive market. Buy-and-hold Holding onto this property as a long-term investment could prove challenging due to its overpriced status, with a market gap of 14.5% compared to fair value. The modest return of 4.3% gross yield does not align with the expected appreciation potential in a saturated market, diminishing its viability as a buy-and-hold asset.
Tenant turnover risk There is a risk of increased tenant turnover given the tenant stability score of 60/100, which may lead to higher vacancy rates and associated costs.
