What rental yield can I expect on a property in El Salvador?
Rental yield depends heavily on the specific property, its zone and its purchase price, so there is no single nationwide figure we can responsibly quote. To estimate it yourself, compare a property's asking price against realistic achievable rent for similar listings in the same zone on Vivo Latam, subtract expected costs (maintenance, vacancy, fees), and divide the resulting annual net income by the purchase price.
