- 20% over-priced (easy to understand why- you get 19.6% after 15 years onwership);
- over supplied;
- advertised return based on unrealistic rental prices;
- high unoccupancy rate due to high rent;
- while the tax incentive associated to these leasebacks "could" make sense for French residents, it does not for non French residents as you will ultimately end up paying 42% tax (assumption you are on 42% tax band) no matter how good the French tax benefits are.
Why do you think they are so much advertised in Ireland? b'cos they can not sell them to the French themselves!!
