Rental potential in Marbella: what to measure
How to think about short-term and long-term rental potential for a Marbella property, without relying on headline yields.
Headline yields are rarely comparable
Gross yields quoted online often ignore seasonality, management, cleaning, maintenance, local taxes and vacancy.
What we look at
- Licensing: tourist rental registration rules and community restrictions
- Seasonality: summer demand versus winter occupancy
- Operating costs: management, utilities, maintenance, insurance
- Tax: non-resident income tax on rental income
- Wear and tear on a home you also intend to use
Our approach
We only comment on rental potential when there is evidence to support it, and we treat rental income as a bonus rather than a reason to stretch a budget.
General information only, not legal, tax or investment advice. Rules and rates change; confirm with independent professionals.
