Tax outcomes depend on how the investment is structured and how income is generated. In practice, investors usually fall into a few common scenarios:

• buying as an individual and renting out the property
• operating rentals more actively (especially short‑term)
• investing through a business structure (depending on scale and goals)

A safe approach is to plan early:

• define whether the target income is rent, resale, or both
• decide who will manage operations (you vs a management company)
• keep clean documentation (contracts, invoices, bank transfers)
• track expenses from day one (repairs, furniture, management, marketing)

The biggest mistake is copying advice from another country or another investor. Even small details matter: residency status, duration of ownership, type of rent, and whether the activity is treated as business. If your client asks “How do I minimize tax?” the correct professional answer is: “We can explain general options, but final structuring must be confirmed by your accountant.”
