When you think of the Algarve, you think of year-round sunshine, the best golf courses in Portugal, and rental income in the real estate market.

The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed the real estate market on an unprecedented scale. Nowadays, due to its safety, the Algarve is more than ever one of the best places to buy a rental property. In addition to that, in the Algarve you will find excellent beaches, good infrastructures, fluency of foreign languages (especially English), and great food and wine options.  

So, if you are planning to make money in real estate investing, here are 5 tips to keep in mind:

1. Find the best location
Living in the Algarve (Portugal) or spending holidays in the Algarve is a top choice for golfers, families, and investors. But the right location makes all the difference. In the first place, you should consider which rental target you want to reach out to, whether it is a family looking for a vacation near the beach or a golfer wishing to have a golf break in Portugal. According to that, you can choose to invest in a property along the coastline or nearby the best Algarve golf courses.



2. Acquire a Golden Visa Portugal
Would you like to invest in Portugal's golden visa properties? If you are thinking of investing in a property in the Algarve to generate rental income, acquiring a Golden Visa may be an excellent option. With Golden Visa Portugal, you would not only have the right to live in the country while pursuing a professional activity but also circulate freely within the Schengen countries. Besides, you could obtain a Permanent Residence Authorization after 5 years, valid forever (does not expire, similar to a national citizen card, is subject to normal renewals, and has no imposition of minimum stay tax).



3. Sports and leisure nearby activities
Portugal golf attracts people from all over the world, especially to the Algarve. If you are thinking about investing in a house to rent, it may be a good idea to consider a property surrounded by world-class golf courses, such as the properties you find in Amendoeira Golf Resort. Besides golf, this resort in the Algarve offers relaxation amongst 270 hectares of nature and other sports activities, including some of the best experiences in tennis in Portugal, football, and pilates classes.



4. Get access to owners’ privileges
Investing in a property in an Algarve resort where you have access to a wide range of amenities and maintenance services is different to investing in a house outside a resort which doesn’t bring you the same benefits.
