Advisor's description
“A bright 2-room new-build apartment in Berlin-Karlshorst with 53.68 m², set on the 2nd floor of a modern residential development. The unit combines balcony, lift access, cellar storage and barrier-free design in a green yet well-connected Berlin location, with completion planned for March 2027.”
Alpha Minoris advisor
Rental note
“As a first-occupancy unit, the apartment offers a clean starting point for a new letting strategy. The 2-room layout, balcony, modern finish and step-free access broaden tenant appeal and support stable long-term demand in a livable Berlin submarket.”

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.

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.
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
“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.”

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.
Year 10
Assumes 4% annual property value growth
How projected equity is calculated. Projected equity is the €457,395 estimated property value minus the €223,696 remaining loan. 27.61% of the original financing is modelled as repaid after 10 years. The buyer is the legal owner of 100% of the property from purchase.
Year 25
Assumes 4% annual property value growth
How projected equity is calculated. Projected equity is the €823,743 estimated property value minus the €0 remaining loan. 100% of the original financing is modelled as repaid after 25 years. The buyer is the legal owner of 100% of the property from purchase.
The same tax-adjusted owner cash is used in both paths. The property result is projected equity plus retained rental income; the stock result invests that cash in MSCI World.

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.”
