According to a study of the idealista.com portal, the yield of a residential property placed in long term rentals is 7.3% in Spain in the second quarter of 2017, compared with about 5.5% a year earlier.
The yield is even higher if one considers only the Costa del Sol and the Costa Tropical. Of course, short-term seasonal rentals allow you to go far beyond these figures.

For 2 years, prices have increased by more than 10% per annum on the Costa del Sol and the Costa Tropical (like Madrid, Barcelona and some other privileged areas).
