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.

€13,012

Apartment and parking cold rent

Estimated annual interest

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

€15,450

5% interest assumption

Owner-paid Hausgeld

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

€468

Owner-paid Hausgeld over 12 months

Depreciation (AfA)

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

+€534.31 / 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 5% for a building completed in 2,027, 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.

Values below zero are monthly owner contributions; values above zero are monthly cash retained. Acquisition costs are excluded.

Advisor note

“This is less a yield-maximising play and more a quality-led capital preservation and growth story. The new-build standard reduces near-term repair risk, while the Berlin location and first-occupancy setup create a solid base for long-term rental income and value resilience.”

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.

“This is the kind of property that feels easy to own. New-build quality, no renovation overhang, barrier-free access and a practical 2-room layout make it straightforward to place and hold. Karlshorst adds the right mix of greenery, family appeal and Berlin connectivity, which matters for long-term demand. Not the most aggressive cashflow asset, but a clean, low-friction buy for someone prioritising quality, stability and future-proof tenant appeal.”
