Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask me most before investing in Paraguay.

Can a foreigner buy property in Paraguay?

Yes, and with the same rights as a Paraguayan: the law does not distinguish by nationality for urban real estate. You do not need prior residency or a local partner. You do need a Paraguayan ID or tax number to sign the deed, and that can be arranged during the process.

How much tax do I pay on a real estate investment?

Paraguay runs a 10-10-10 regime: VAT, personal income tax and corporate income tax, all at 10%. On a purchase, VAT on real estate applies to a reduced base. If you rent it out, that income is taxed at 10%. It is the lightest tax burden in the region.

How does off-plan financing work?

Typically a 20% to 30% down payment, with the balance in interest-free installments during construction, directly with the developer. It is not a bank loan: no interest rate, no credit scoring. Each project has its own scheme and I walk you through it in full before you decide.

Why do some listings not show a price?

Because for exclusive units the price is a conversation. They usually come with specific terms — payment structure, timelines, what is included — that a single figure does not explain well. Message me and I will give you the actual price and terms for that unit.

What currency are transactions in?

The premium real estate market in Paraguay operates in US dollars: prices, installments and deeds. That shields you from exchange-rate risk if your capital is already in dollars.

Do I need to be in Paraguay to buy?

Not necessarily. We can move forward remotely and have you travel only for the signing, or even operate through a power of attorney. I guide you through every step, in English or Spanish, and coordinate with the notary so it is one trip and not three.

What rental yield can I expect?

It depends on location, unit type and entry point, so any number quoted in the abstract would be an empty promise. What I do is show you the real rental values in the area and the costs you will actually face, so you run the numbers on data rather than expectations.

Do you charge for your advice?

The first conversation is free and commits you to nothing. I am paid on the transaction, by the developer or the owner depending on the case, and I make that clear before we move forward.

Still have a question?

Message me and we will sort it out in one conversation.
