How much do you have to earn to qualify? In this article, we analyze the minimum income required by banks for a $100 million loan (approximately US$80,150—based on the current MEP dollar exchange rate) and how the installment varies depending on the term chosen .

Such was the consumer response that, in 2024 , more than 11,000 loans were granted , with an average of US$75,000 each , according to a report by the Tejido Urbano Foundation. Meanwhile, the figure for the beginning of this year shows around 5,000 UVA mortgage loans already granted.
