– Slow pace of new construction: The lack of new inventory can limit investment opportunities for foreign buyers.
– Amount of attractive inventory: The availability of desirable properties can influence where international investors choose to put their money.
– Capital controls: Restrictions on the flow of capital in and out of a country can affect investment decisions for foreign buyers.
– Short-term rental restrictions: Regulations on short-term rentals can impact the potential rental income for international investors.
– Impact of high interest rates vs. rental income: The balance between high interest rates and potential rental income can affect the profitability of investments for foreign buyers.
