Investing in a 4-bedroom apartment in San Isidro, Lima

A 4-bedroom apartment in San Isidro yields about 6.2% gross on a long-term rental. That's the figure I'd anchor to, because it's the one the data actually supports.

For Airbnb, I don't have enough listings of this size in the district to give you a number. Anyone who quotes you a short-term yield for a 4-bed in San Isidro is guessing. I'd rather admit the gap than make one up.

So this is a long-term play, not a short-term one. The 6.2% is gross, meaning before maintenance, management, vacancy, and taxes. Budget for those and the real return drops.

Who it suits: someone who wants a stable tenant in a prime district and is comfortable with the long-term number, not someone chasing Airbnb upside on a size we can't measure.

This is not investment advice. Run your own numbers before committing.
