Insider tip
The tenant pool is concentrated in electronics. That is a real, salaried income stream — but it is single-industry risk, so price it in rather than assuming Hanoi-style diversification.

A furnished one-bedroom rents from roughly $280 per month, and modern condos sell around $1,150 per m². Gross rental yields are in the region of 5.8% before costs.
