Advertised rental yields for Manilva are almost always gross figures, before costs — and the gap between gross and net is where most first-time investor expectations get corrected.
Community fees, IBI (property tax), non-resident income tax, letting agency commission, and maintenance reserve typically take 25-35% off a gross yield figure before you've accounted for any vacancy at all.
Long-term rentals and short-term/holiday rentals behave completely differently here: short-term can post higher headline yields but carries occupancy risk, licensing requirements, and far more active management; long-term is lower-yield but closer to passive.
Location within the area affects achievable rent more than most brochures suggest — proximity to the beach, golf, or amenities can mean a genuinely different rent band for very similar-looking units.
The honest version of the pitch: Manilva can produce solid, defensible net yields for the right property and the right rental strategy, but the number on the listing page is rarely the number that lands in your account.
