Pulling nearby comps…

Edit assumptions (plug in real contractor quotes)

Feasibility scenario — not a contractor quote

  • Construction uses our in-house team's ~$2,400/m² luxury rate (shell + finishes; pool/landscaping & permits are added separately). Typical local quotes run $1,200–2,400/m². Final cost still depends on the confirmed scope.
  • Assumes a ~14-month build with no rental income during construction; excludes land-carry, financing and price escalation.
  • The 380 m² footprint exceeds the ~85 m² buildable area (75% coverage on a residential lot) — add a floor, shrink the villa, or split the parcel.
  • Few or scattered nearby comps behind the revenue estimate — lower confidence.
  • Water availability (ASADA letter) and utilities can make or break a build — verify before you buy the lot.

Story

Is it for you?

Buyers who'll verify the inputs before trusting the numbers.

Move on if you can't confirm price, title, and location.

Good to know

  • Lower-confidence estimate — treat headline yield as a hypothesis, not a promise.

Check before you offer

  • Confirm registered fee-simple title (folio real), free of liens.
  • Confirm a legal water supply (AyA or ASADA letter / carta de agua) — no water letter, no deal.
  • If anything is already built on the lot, confirm permisos de construcción cover it — unpermitted work can block closing.
  • Verify buildable footprint, coverage rules, access, and ZMT status with the municipality.
  • Get real contractor quotes before trusting any yield-on-cost figure.
