Is long-term rental worth it in Jesús María?

For a hands-off owner, Jesús María's long-term rental nets about 5.1% after costs – property tax, arbitrios, income tax, and a 3% vacancy allowance. That's on a median asking price of roughly $2,110 per square metre. Modest but steady, and passive – the honest trade-off for someone who doesn't want to manage a short-term let.
The net figure assumes you self-manage. It subtracts the taxes and the vacancy allowance, but not maintenance, because in a Lima long-term let the tenant pays that. It also doesn't subtract furnishing or management fees – you're doing the work yourself, and the place comes as-is.
Compare that to the Airbnb side, which subtracts the platform fee, host-paid utilities and internet, income tax, maintenance (the host pays it here), property tax, and arbitrios. The long-term figure subtracts none of those – different cost lists, different effort.
So the question is whether you want the yield for the work. At about 5.1%, you're not getting rich, but you're also not chasing guests or scrubbing bathrooms. If you're the type who values sleep and a predictable cheque, that's a fair deal. If you're after double digits, you'll need to run the short-term side well – and that's a different job.
The data here is thin – one district, one point in time. But the numbers say what they say: about 5.1% net, on a median price that's not cheap. Make of that what you will.
