No special residency is required just for property ownership.
Important legal aspects include:
- Properties must be registered with the Bulgarian Land Registry
- Due diligence on property title is essential
- Notary public required for all real estate transactions
- Typical closing costs are 2-4% of property value
- Consider forming a Bulgarian company for liability protection
Performance varies by location and star rating:
- Seaside resorts: 5-8% annual ROI (higher in peak season)
- Ski resorts: 6-9% annual ROI
- City hotels: 4-7% annual ROI but more stable year-round
Operating costs typically 30-45% of revenue including:
- 10% municipal tax on profits
