Although prices have gone up considerably in the last couple of years, Spain remains a great option for equity and appreciation plays. While average rental yields in Spain hover around 5.57%, certain neighborhoods in Barcelona, Valencia, and C\u00f3rdoba can get up to 8%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Spanish government has taken measures to attract foreign investors by keeping the real estate taxes transparent. Buyers can expect to pay about 10% to 15% of the total purchase price in closing fees and taxes, which include a combination of transfer taxes (8% to 10%), notary fees, land registry fees, layer fees, valuation fees, stamp duty (1.5% of mortgage), and lenders commission. New builds have additional associated fees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Spain also offers its own version of the Golden Visa program, which includes a path to citizenship in 10 years.

Overall, yields hover above 7%, and in certain locations, like Dublin, average yields shoot up well above 8%. Of course, these are average yields, which means opportunities to do even better than this abound with good hunting. Tax on this rental income is also one of the lowest in Europe, at around 10%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Like any destination in Europe, it\u2019s important to work with a local team to help vet some of the hyperlocal nuances of Ireland. For instance, Heigo Protten, a real estate expert from Global Property Guide, warns, \u201cIn Ireland, it\u2019s important to check whether the property you are buying is in an area contaminated with pyrite, as it may cause significant damage to the property in the long run.\u201d Pyrite can be an issue in the Dublin area (and elsewhere) and results when building materials containing pyrite swell with moisture over time and cause foundation cracks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
