Buying at the construction stage means
the best entry price and built-in capital appreciation by handover. Risks are minimized through a notary contract and milestone-based payments.
Your protections:- Milestones. Payments are released to the developer only when each stage is signed off (e.g., 30/40/30).
- Notary agreement. Defines timeline, specifications, responsibilities, and dispute resolution.
- Construction control. Weekly updates with photo/video/drone reports, plus access to progress logs.
- Quality guarantee. At handover, a full checklist inspection plus a defect liability period where the developer fixes issues.
- Installments. 12 months at 0% markup; 24 months adds +$50k to the price (reduces quick-flip margin if you resell at delivery).
- Yield. Target returns up to 14% NET in USD, depending on occupancy, ADR, fees, and taxes. Turn-key rental management with full financial reporting included.
Investor takeaway: The earlier you enter, the better the terms. Lock in your villa, secure the price, open escrow, and follow the milestones without cashflow gaps.
