FAQ
What does USD 200,000 buy in Madrid?
About 35 m² at ~5689 USD/m² (offer price, grade B).
Why does a non-EU buyer pay more tax?
IRNR taxes a non-EU non-resident at 24% on gross rent, with no expense deductions; an EU resident pays 19% on net income. That gap lowers the real return for a Latin American investor.
Does buying grant residency (golden visa)?
No. Spain eliminated the real-estate golden visa in 2025. Buying no longer grants an investment residency permit.
Any barriers to taking capital out?
There are no exchange controls: it is the eurozone and capital moves freely. The focus is the non-EU tax treatment and the currently-stalled proposal for a tax of up to 100% on non-EU buyers, worth monitoring.
