Your Potential Tax Advantage

Some costs of an investment property can reduce taxable rental income. For high earners, that can create a meaningful tax advantage and improve the real economics of holding the property.

Annual cold rent

The actual or estimated cold rent used in this Exposé over 12 months.

€25,954

Apartment and parking cold rent

Estimated annual interest

Only the interest part of the loan is considered here, not principal repayment.

€28,301

5.3% interest assumption

Owner-paid Hausgeld

The property costs paid by the owner rather than passed through to the tenant.

€1,260

Owner-paid Hausgeld over 12 months

Depreciation (AfA)

A government-allowed annual write-off on the building value, not the land value.

€8,624

2% on €431,200 building basis

Adjust AfA

AfA is the annual building write-off shown in the card before this one. Adjust the assumption to see its effect below.

Temporary scenario; resets on reload.

+€428.10 / month

Illustrative estimate, not tax advice. Assumes a 42% marginal tax rate, a 5.3% annual interest rate and the entered property financing terms. AfA is estimated at 2% for a building completed in 2,019, using the recorded construction year as a completion-year proxy. It applies to the returned 80% building share and excludes the 20% land share. Actual deductible costs and tax outcomes depend on individual circumstances.

Your Monthly Cash Flow

Rent minus the bank installment, owner-paid Hausgeld and any Vermieter Autopilot management cost gives the before-tax cash flow. The signed estimated monthly tax effect is then applied to show the final result. Positive means cash retained; negative means cash contributed by the owner.

Advisor note

“As a vacant, high-quality modern unit, the property is best viewed as a flexible long-term asset. Rental strength depends on achievable new-market rent and final financing terms.”

Long-Term Ownership Value

What you put in vs what it could build

Property growth and loan repayment build equity over time. Any positive monthly cash flow after the estimated tax effect is shown separately as retained rental income.

Owner cash invested includes acquisition cash and any required monthly owner contributions after the estimated tax effect. These are illustrative projections, not guaranteed returns.

Owner cash means acquisition cash plus any required monthly owner contributions after the estimated tax effect. If monthly cash flow is non-negative, owner cash remains the acquisition cash. The benchmark assumes matching contributions and reinvested growth; fees, taxes and volatility are not modelled.

“A premium, low-maintenance Berlin apartment with modern construction, lift, balcony, parking and energy class A. The vacant handover is a major advantage, giving the buyer full control over use and rental strategy. The price is on the higher side, so the investment case depends on strong market rent or partial own-use value, but the asset quality and location make it a serious hold candidate.”
