Looking for a solid investment opportunity, but aren’t sure where to look? Puerto Rico real estate is an excellent alternative if you’re interested in Caribbean property. Whether you’re interested in a land parcel, condo, home, or villa, there are multiple advantages of investing in Puerto Rico real estate.
Puerto Rico has the designation of being one of the USA’s self-governing territories. This means that you don’t need a passport to travel to the island, and that the US dollar is the official currency. You don’t have to worry about fluctuating exchange rates affecting your purchasing power or having to do quick conversions to understand prices on the island.
Any real estate transactions, including the purchase of investment property, are governed by the US’s federal laws. Investors can buy property secure with the knowledge that these laws protect their investments. Mortgages, loans, and bank accounts also operate according to US laws and regulations. Not only does this protect your assets, but it makes it easier you to acclimate to the island.
Puerto Rico has access to many US programs and resources in case of a natural disaster. The island’s infrastructure, such as the water and power systems, roads, and bridges, adhere to US construction standards.
The Puerto Rican government is currently working to rebuild the local economy after nearly a decade of financial decline. This means that there are many tax incentives designed to encourage economic development. Investors who decide to become Puerto Rican businesses pay a flat income tax rate of 4 percent and individuals pay a 0 percent tax rate. Dividends and capital gains are also entirely exempt from taxes.
Many of the rebuilding and construction projects required to recover from Hurricane Maria are in the works and expected to continue through 2025.
