Strategic Q&A
Addressing the essentials of your investment journey.
Absolutely. We provide a complete turnkey service, handling everything on the ground in Sofia. You will receive regular video updates, architectural reports, and full financial transparency, allowing you to manage your investment from anywhere.
Depending on the chosen strategy (fast-track refresh vs. structural overhaul), our investment cycles typically span between 5 to 9 months from acquisition to exit.
Every project undergoes a strict technical and legal audit before acquisition. Our architect-led oversight ensures fixed timelines, use of vetted contractors, and strict budget control to protect your capital.
We focus on Sofia because it offers the most competitive entry prices in the EU, a favorable 10% flat tax regime, and high growth potential fueled by Eurozone and Schengen integration.
Profit is realized upon the final exit (sale) of the asset. Once the property is sold, the initial capital plus the net profit are returned to the investor, net of relevant taxes and fees. Our team manages the entire disposal process – from market positioning to legal closing – to ensure maximum liquidity and tax efficiency for our partners.
Yes. For investments focused on passive income, we provide full-cycle asset management post-renovation. This includes tenant screening, administrative support, and all ongoing communication. We ensure sustainable returns without requiring your personal involvement or presence.
