The strategy in one page
Strategy and process · Stand: 2026-08-10
The play: buy an already-tenanted 2-room apartment (45–65 sqm, 1960s–80s) in Musterstadt-Nordufer or -Weidenhof (invented example areas) for €130–165K, finance ~100% of the price, put the €30K cash into purchase costs + materials + reserve.
Why: tenanted units trade 8–15% cheaper, the existing tenant means the "first tenant by Dec 31" goal is met the day the purchase price is paid, banks count the rent in affordability, and the segment has real supply today.
Honest economics at 2026 rates: −€120…−€240/month after tax refunds, +~€3,000/year principal build-up funded by the tenant, ~€4,400 tax refund in year 1, tax-free sale possible after 10 years.
Deadlines: tenanted path → notarize by Nov 15. Vacant path → offer accepted by Oct 10.
