Advisor's description
“This is a practical 2-room apartment in a location that is easy to understand from an investor’s point of view. The size is sensible, the balcony and lift help, and the overall setup should appeal to a broad tenant group rather than a narrow niche.”
Alpha Minoris advisor
Rental note
“The apartment is currently vacant, which means there is some work to do at the start, but that is also where the opportunity sits. Since the unit has been recently renovated, there is a realistic chance to position it more cleanly in the market and let it out at a stronger rental level.”

The monthly top-up is the difference between projected rent and the property's fixed owner-paid costs. The annual view shows how rent growth can change that commitment over time.

Advisor note
“The more relevant story here is the combination of vacancy, renovation, and location quality. If the apartment can be let well, the numbers should look more interesting than they do on a static first pass.”

What you put in vs what it could build
Rental income generated is not total rent collected. It is the rent retained by the owner after the estimated installment and owner-paid Hausgeld; together with property growth, it can build ownership value over time.
These are illustrative projections, not guaranteed returns. Tax and financing outcomes depend on individual circumstances.
Year 10
For privately held German property, a sale after the ten-year holding period may fall outside the private-sale tax window. Individual tax circumstances apply.
Year 25
This point represents the end of the modelled 25-year financing term, not a guaranteed repayment outcome.
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.

Before tax vs after tax monthly top-up
Before tax, the estimated monthly top-up is €249 / month. After estimated tax relief, it is €150 / month.
The comparison applies the returned estimated monthly tax relief to the existing before-tax top-up. Actual timing depends on the investor's tax filing and assessment.
Illustrative takeaway
Illustrative estimate, not tax advice. Assumes a 42% marginal tax rate, a 4.5% annual interest rate and full purchase-price financing. AfA is estimated at 2% for a building completed in 1,996, 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.
“Löbtau is a convenient and well-connected part of Dresden, and being able to reach the Hauptbahnhof in around 15 minutes by one tram line is a meaningful advantage for tenant demand. For an investor who is comfortable with some upfront letting work and is thinking in terms of long-term hold rather than instant yield, this could be a sensible opportunity.”
