What Can I Actually Rent It For?
The "what can I rent it for?" question every luxury buyer asks. Real 2025 numbers:
🏖️ Entry-level condos (San José, downtown Cabo): $18K–$35K/year
🏡 Mid-tier villas in gated communities: $50K–$120K/year
🏰 Luxury estates (Pedregal, Palmilla, El Encanto): $200K–$500K+/year
Yields:
• 6%–8% gross of purchase price
• 3%–5% net after professional management (25%–35% of gross), HOA, maintenance, taxes
Three rules that beat any neighborhood:
1. Walk-to-beach or true ocean view (+30% to +60% nightly rate)
2. 3+ bedrooms (better $/sqft in luxury tier)
3. Heated pool (non-negotiable Dec–Feb)
Match those three to one of the top-tier communities and your property books itself.
