Long-term rental The 2-bed apartment in Mafamude e Vilar do Paraíso is priced at €517,500, significantly exceeding its fair value of €362,912, indicating it is overpriced. With a gross yield of only 2.5%, the property does not present an attractive investment for long-term rental in the current market. Family rental The current listing price places this property at a steep premium compared to its fair value, leading to a 42.6% gap and making it overpriced. Families looking for rental options in a suburban setting may find better value elsewhere given the limited yield of 2.5%. Buy-and-hold Investing in this 2-bed apartment as a buy-and-hold strategy is less appealing due to its current valuation at €517,500, far above the fair value of €362,912, categorizing it as overpriced. The modest yield of 2.5% further dampens its attractiveness for long-term capital appreciation under current market conditions.
Tenant turnover risk With a tenant stability score of 70/100, there is a notable risk of higher tenant turnover, which may lead to increased vacancy periods and associated costs.
