As Miami continues its rapid economic and urban growth, Chilean investors are tapping into the city’s booming real estate market with diversified strategies. Whether buying existing properties to rent, flipping homes, or developing projects from the ground up, their approach depends on risk tolerance and financial goals.
Experts from AGD Developers, a Chilean-led firm active in Miami’s luxury sector, highlight three main investment models: purchasing for rental income, buying to remodel and resell, and launching full-scale developments. While rentals offer stability with moderate returns, more ambitious investors are turning to ground-up developments—where returns can exceed 25%.
A key driver of this shift is the aging housing stock in Miami, prompting developers to demolish and rebuild high-end homes. These new projects are not only profitable but also help revitalize entire neighborhoods, attracting high-income residents and improving local services.
Key Points:
- Chilean investors are engaging in rental, flipping, and ground-up development strategies in Miami.
- Rental investments offer long-term stability with ~2% return on equity.
- Remodeling and reselling provide agility but require active involvement.
- Ground-up development yields higher returns—often above 25%.
- Miami’s aging housing stock is accelerating luxury redevelopment projects.
