Criteria for evaluating pre-construction properties in the neighborhood

  • HOA rules: profitability from vacation rentals (short-term rentals) depends on HOA fee policies and community rules regarding short stays, in addition to local demand and management costs.
  • Financial structure: it is recommended to understand how adjustment by the INCC (Brazil's national construction cost index) applies to the remaining balance during construction.
