✅ Strengths
- ▸Budapest yields up to 7.5% — EU member market
- ▸Highest real interest rate in group (+4.85%) — restrains speculation
- ▸LT corporate rental outperforms STR +34%
⚠ Risks
- ▸HUF — one of Europe's most volatile currencies; 20% devaluation erases 2–3 years rent
- ▸Lowest TI CPI in EU (41); EU Article 7 proceedings
- ▸STR moratorium in Budapest Jan 2025–Dec 2026
CASABROVA Verdict
Budapest District V/VI for LT corporate. Hedge HUF risk. Avoid STR until moratorium ends Dec 2026.
Israeli: CASABROVA Score 58.1 (rank #28) for this profile.
Recommended Strategy
LT corporate rental only. Hedge HUF immediately. EUR-denominated lease clauses where possible.
Based on CASABROVA Waves 1–8, Q1 2026. Not financial or legal advice.
