ASUNCION: how to compare financed apartments and installment plans

Two offers can show a similar monthly payment while having very different structures. Compare the estimated total cost, contract currency, adjustment clauses, term, allocation or delivery conditions, location, floor area, common expenses, parking, equipment and contract-related costs.

For an international buyer, add payment logistics, tax questions, power of attorney if needed and future property management.

A monthly payment is only one line in the comparison. The best decision comes from looking at the complete long-term cash flow and the exact rights and obligations in the contract.
