Is long-term rental worth it in San Isidro?

Short answer: a long-term rental in San Isidro nets about 3.6% after costs. That's on a median asking price of $2,564 per square meter. So on paper it's modest.

What you get for that 3.6% is steady and passive. Sign a tenant, collect rent, stay hands-off. That's the honest trade-off -- you're not chasing high numbers, you're buying something you don't have to babysit.

Whether 3.6% is worth it depends entirely on what else you'd do with the money. Against a savings account it may look fine; against more active strategies it looks thin. I can't tell you which side you land on.

One caveat: these figures are a net yield estimate against a median asking price, not a guarantee for any specific unit. Your actual number moves with what you pay, your vacancy, and your costs. This isn't investment advice.
