Advisor's description

“This is a larger 2.5-room apartment, which gives it a slightly different profile from the more standard 2-room stock. The extra space can make it more attractive for tenants who want a bit more flexibility, whether for a home office, a small family setup, or longer-term living.”

Income Profile

Rental note

“The apartment is vacant, which means there is upfront letting work, but also full flexibility on how to position the unit from the beginning. That is useful in a layout like this, because the additional half-room can be part of the appeal if marketed well.”

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.

Estimated annual interest

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

5% interest assumption

Owner-paid Hausgeld

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

€1,275

Owner-paid Hausgeld over 12 months

Depreciation (AfA)

+€103.33 / month

Illustrative estimate, not tax advice. Assumes a 42% marginal tax rate, a 5% annual interest rate and full purchase-price financing. AfA is estimated at 2% for a building completed in 1,936, 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.

05

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.

Tenant utilities of €189 / month are shown for transparency but excluded from cash flow.

Advisor note

“At the current asking price, this is not a property I would describe as cash-flow driven. The stronger angle is the combination of vacancy, larger floor area, and a layout that may support a more stable tenant profile once let.”

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.

“The 2.5-room layout gives it a bit more depth in the tenant market, and that can matter for long-term hold quality. For an investor who is comfortable starting with a vacant unit and is looking more at rental appeal and long-term ownership value than immediate yield, this is worth a closer look.”
