Investing in Israel: comparing strategies
An investment in Israel is compared on three axes: net yield after tax, resale liquidity, and execution risk. A city can be excellent on one and weak on the other two.
1. Net yield, not gross yield
Gross yield ignores tax, vacancy, management and maintenance. Two cities with identical gross figures can diverge sharply once those are included.
- Rental income tax regime
- Vacancy and seasonality
- Management and maintenance
- Building service charges
2. Capital gains: what actually creates them
Capital gains come from structural change: transport, urban renewal, employment, new schooling supply. They do not come from a past price trend.
- Committed transport projects
- Urban renewal (Tama 38, Pinui Binui)
- Employment momentum
- Upcoming new-build supply
3. Execution risk
The most underestimated risk is not the market but execution: new-build delays, tenant quality, ability to resell quickly, financing constraints for non-residents.
4. Compare cities and strategies together
A strategy is never chosen in the abstract: long-term rental, short stay, value-add through works, or new-build — each implies a different city and property profile.
