You can make Croatia your retirement home or a private getaway far from the polluted cities.

If you are planning to purchase a property in Croatia as your second home and do not want to live in there on a permanent basis, you will have to factor in various additional costs of yearly property maintenance. Therefore, you need to hire a property management company and determine rental income that can be earned throughout the year to maintain the property.

Choosing a good property location in Croatia is very important if you want a decent return od investment in the form of rental or even if you want to sell it after a few years. Consider the factors like amenities offered in the property and analyze trends in resale values by doing an extensive market research. Make sure there are good schools and hospitals nearby. The type of home you buy in Croatia is equally crucial. The costs and demands of owning a single-family home are quite different from those owning an urban apartment.  

Understanding the tax implications of the property is another important factor you must consider before buying your dream house in Croatia.

Most investors who are buying a home in Croatia, prefer using a combination of down payment and a mortgage for the remaining amount. It is advisable to make maximum down payment to reduce the loan liability on your property. Do your own research for various mortgage products and payment schedules that suit your budget.

Finding good tenants or trustworthy guests, understanding and preparing leases or short-term agreements, and understanding the vacation rental market are just a few of the practical steps you must take to turn your property investment in Croatia into a profitable venture.   If you are a foreign national then you should know about the rules and regulations before proceeding to buy the property in Croatia.  It may be a good idea to engage a lawyer or agency who is an expert in real estate matters of Croatia
