The real estate sector has definitively become the haven of great fortunes around the world, who decide to invest in properties such as luxury homes, offices and hotels in the face of the fluctuations of the stock market and the low profitability of bonds and commodities.

Real estate investment in Spain offers rates of return that double, in the worst case, those of the 10-year State Bonds.

In Mallorca, the return on investment in rental housing stood at 6.7 percent in the third quarter of 2016, standing above the national average of 5.9 percent.
