In the world of Punta Cana real estate investment there are many beliefs circulating… and not all of them are true.
Some may cause you to miss opportunities, and others could lead you to make bad decisions.
Today I am going to tell you the most common myths and the truth behind them.
I am Jordi Albertus, a real estate consultant in the Dominican Republic with more than 17 years helping investors to buy with security and profitability.
I have heard all versions, from the most optimistic to the most pessimistic.
Let’s separate fact from fiction.
1️⃣ Myth: All investments in Punta Cana are risky.
Truth: Buying without research and without advice is a risk.
But if you verify the legality of the project, the property title and work with a professional, the risk is considerably reduced.
2️⃣ Myth: Only millionaires can invest here.
Truth: There are options for different budgets.
From studios in tourist areas for less than 60,000 USD to luxury villas in Cap Cana for several millions.
The important thing is to define your budget and strategy.
3️⃣ Myth: Profitability is low.
Truth: Well managed, a tourist property in Punta Cana can generate between 6% and 10% annual net profitability.
In some cases, especially in properties well located for Airbnb, this range can 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.
Real example
A Spanish client contacted me convinced that investing in Punta Cana was too risky.
After showing him figures, success stories and safe properties, he decided to buy an apartment in Bavaro.
