Insider tip
Most stock here is landed houses rather than condos, so foreign ownership is more restricted — long leases are the common workaround; get legal advice first.

A furnished one-bedroom rents from roughly $320 per month, and modern condos sell around $1,400 per m². Gross rental yields are in the region of 4.5% before costs.
