Indicative estimate, not a guaranteed return. The yield range starts at 8 % as a conservative floor: the 9–12 % net annual yield from vacation rentals in White Sands comes from the Universo Salado corporate presentation (p. 17); the annual appreciation, from the 9–13 % nominal range published by TheLatinvestor and Properstar for residential property in Punta Cana. These are nominal figures: net of Dominican inflation (~4.8 %), real appreciation is markedly lower. Appreciation during construction is a commercial assumption, not published data. Prices are starting prices and change without notice.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the price rise before construction ends?

Buying off-plan means paying in stages at launch prices. As construction advances the developer raises the price of the remaining units, and at handover the product competes with finished stock. How big that jump is depends on the project, the area and how many units are left. Nobody guarantees it.

Is the 8–12 % yield guaranteed?

No. The 9–12 % is the net yield currently achieved by vacation rentals in White Sands according to the Universo Salado developer's presentation, and 8 % is a conservative floor so the projection does not start from the best case. It depends on occupancy, management and the competition in any given year. It is not a fixed rate or a contractually guaranteed income.

Do appreciation and rental income add up?

Yes, they are two different things: one is what the property is worth, the other what it produces when rented. The calculator counts no rental income during construction, since there is nothing to rent until handover.

Does it include taxes, closing costs and financing?

No. It does not deduct closing costs, maintenance, IPI or income tax, and it assumes no financing. If the project holds CONFOTUR status there are exemptions that change the number: that is what the CONFOTUR savings calculator is for.
