Legal framework

Qualifying developments fall under the CONFOTUR incentive law, which removes property transfer tax and annual property tax (IBI) for fifteen years — a direct, quantifiable improvement to net yield rather than a marketing claim.

Why we like this market

  • The CONFOTUR exemption is a legal mechanism, not a sales incentive — it holds regardless of who sells the unit.
  • Punta Cana's tourism base is diversified across multiple source markets, reducing single-market dependency.
  • Entry pricing still allows a clear path to positive cash flow from delivery.
