Rental yields in Spain for international investors

Gross rental yields in Spain's main international-buyer regions typically range from 4% to 7%. Net yields depend on management costs, the IRNR tax (19% for EU/EEA, 24% for non-EU), community fees, and — critically — whether the property holds a tourist licence in its autonomous community.
