For people who buy property here, the canal is like a "money magnet.Owners can earn a rental yield of 5.5% to 7% annually by renting their apartments. Even better, the value of the homes increases by 8% to 12% each year (this is called annual appreciation). If you buy a home today, it could be worth much more in the future.
