How the SOBE Invest Team Generated a 37.7% Return in Two Years – Nueva Andalucía Case Study
Two years ago, a client approached the SOBE Invest team with a clear objective: acquire a high-yield investment property in Marbella that could generate strong rental income, deliver long-term capital appreciation, and be fully compliant from a legal and operational perspective.
After carefully analyzing the market and identifying the most attractive opportunities, the team sourced a townhouse in Nueva Andalucía, one of Marbella’s most desirable residential areas. Known for its proximity to Puerto Banús, championship golf courses, international schools, and year-round lifestyle appeal, Nueva Andalucía continues to attract both investors and high-quality tenants from around the world.
Strategic Acquisition
The property was initially listed at €1,300,000.
Following extensive market analysis and direct negotiations with the seller, the SOBE Invest team successfully secured the property for €1,220,000, creating an immediate saving of €80,000 and improving the investment's potential return from day one.
Full Due Diligence and Legal Management
A successful investment is about far more than simply finding the right property.
The SOBE Invest team managed the entire acquisition process, including:
- Comprehensive market analysis
- Coordination with lawyers and notaries
- Full legal due diligence
- Verification of planning permissions and property approvals
- Urban planning and compliance checks
- Confirmation of no outstanding debts, charges, or legal issues
- Preparation and review of all transaction documentation
- Assistance with securing the necessary licenses for both short-term tourist rentals and long-term rental operations
This ensured the property was fully compliant, legally secure, and ready to generate income immediately after completion.
Rental Performance
Following the acquisition, the property was professionally positioned within Marbella’s rental market.
Thanks to the location, quality of the property, and strong demand in Nueva Andalucía, the townhouse generated approximately €100,000 per year in rental income, providing the owner with consistent cash flow and an attractive annual yield.
Over the two-year holding period, the property generated approximately €200,000 in rental income.
Capital Appreciation
While producing strong rental returns, the property also benefited from Marbella’s continued market growth.
Just two years after the purchase, the owner received an offer of €1,480,000 for the property.
This represented a capital appreciation of approximately €260,000 above the acquisition price.
The Result
Combining rental income and capital appreciation, the investment generated approximately €460,000 in total value creation over two years.
Based on the original acquisition price of €1,220,000, the client achieved an overall return of approximately 37.7% in just two years, while benefiting from a professionally managed and legally secure investment throughout the ownership period.
Why This Investment Was Successful
Several factors contributed to the success of this project:
- Strategic acquisition in one of Marbella’s most sought-after locations
- Successful negotiation that reduced the purchase price by €80,000
- Thorough legal and technical due diligence
- Full compliance and rental licensing support
- Strong rental demand and consistent occupancy
- Significant capital appreciation driven by market growth
- Professional management throughout the entire investment cycle
