The very limited supply of rental units leads to high yields. A 400 sq. m. property in Montevideo, priced at US$470,000, can fetch a rent of US$4,473 a month; a yield of 11.4%.

Smaller sized properties can expect returns in between 7.5% and 10.5%. Properties close to the beach have lower yields of from 4.2% to 6.4%.

Uruguay’s rental market is very small, only 4% of the housing stock. Owner occupancy is at 82%.
