Myths and Truths About Investing in Punta Cana
In the world of real estate investment in Punta Cana, there are many beliefs… and not all of them are true.
Some can make you miss opportunities, and others can lead you to make bad decisions.
Today I’m going to tell you about the most common myths and the truth behind them.
I’m Jordi Albertus, real estate advisor in the Dominican Republic with more than 17 years helping investors buy safely and profitably.
I’ve heard every version, from the most optimistic to the most pessimistic.
Let’s separate reality from fiction.
1️⃣ Myth: All investments in Punta Cana are risky.
Truth: Buying without doing research and without guidance is indeed risky.
But if you verify the project’s legal status, the property title, and work with a professional, the risk is greatly reduced.
2️⃣ Myth: Only millionaires can invest here.
Truth: There are options for different budgets.
From studios in tourist areas for under 60,000 USD to luxury villas in Cap Cana for several million.
The important thing is to define your budget and strategy.
3️⃣ Myth: The returns are low.
Truth: When managed well, a tourist property in Punta Cana can generate between 6% and 10% net annual return.
In some cases, especially with properties well located for Airbnb, that range can even be exceeded.
4️⃣ Myth: There is no legal security for foreigners.
Truth: Dominican law allows foreigners to buy with the same rights as nationals.
If the process is done correctly, your property will be legally protected.

Today he has not only recovered his investment, but also receives constant income from vacation rentals.
