What you can do

  • Negative cash flow: you need to contribute about €369 per month.

How this was calculated
  • Gross rental yield = annual rent / total investment
  • Net rental yield = net income / total investment
  • Return on equity = cash flow / equity (leverage effect)
  • A purchase price multiplier below 20 is considered cheap
  • Pre-tax view: depreciation, capital gains tax and speculation period (§ 23 EStG) are not taken into account
  • Gross rental yield: 4-6% = good
  • Net rental yield: from 4% = good
  • Purchase price multiplier: below 20 = cheap
  • Positive cash flow = self-sustaining
