Crowdinvesting: basics and rental yields

Invest in real estate instead of the next sneaker? Sounds strange, but that’s no longer a problem with crowdinvesting. Crowdinvestment means as much as real estate investment for everyone. But what exactly is crowdinvesting?

Here in short, before we go into details, the most important summarized on the subject of crowdinvestment:

• Many shares of a property divided to private individuals
• Only a small outlay of equity
• Loan is not paid to developer, but only participation in property

What does crowdinvestment mean exactly?

Crowdinvestments are very similar to a corporation that sells many company shares to private individuals and institutions in order to obtain the necessary financing for the company’s growth. So too, with crowdinvestments, individual shares of a property are sold to private investors. The advantage? You can invest in such real estate even with a small amount of equity and thus secure your pension.

• Comparison: stock corporation
• Many shares of a property divided to private individuals
• Only a small outlay of equity

How does crowdinvestment work in the first place?

Let’s stay with the example of the stock corporation. When a property is newly built or renovated, it is published on a special crowdinvestment platform. This is responsible for the distribution of the real estate shares to capital investors. Through the platforms, the owners are considerably relieved.

Differences from a normal investment:

• No targeted partners for financing, but division of the property by platform
• Loan is not paid to developer, but only participation in property
• Share is not used for personal use, one obtains the part of a yield

How do I find profitable real estate?

In order to know which property is worth investing in, one should know what the return on investment of the respective property is. Here you can use a simple formula to calculate this.

Formula Rental Yield:

Annual rent / investment x 100 = rental yield

If you want to know even more about rental yield, read our article Rental yield and purchase price factor here.

Financing real estate yourself? Equity

When you’re young, you often don’t have the equity directly available to invest in a property. Thus, equity probably plays the biggest role in real estate purchases for first-time investors. Many ask themselves the question, how much equity do you need at all for a regular property?

Equity depending on the situation

The answer is always related to the location of the property. If your property is in an A location such as Munich, Cologne or Hamburg, it is unaffordable for most people. In a B – location or good C- location, however, the prices fall. Depending on the micro-location, prices can also vary depending on how far into the city center you want to live.

• A- location (big city) extremely expensive
• B- location and good C- location moderate prices
• Microlocation is crucial

Equity investment depending on financing

No matter what the final purchase price of a property, the bank usually always requires an equity contribution of 15%, especially for first-time investors. In addition, one must always reckon with the addition of the ancillary purchase costs, brokerage costs (if commissioned) and the land transfer tax.

• 15% equity investment

Real estate as an investment: Provision for old age

Our pension is getting smaller and smaller and our money in the bank is subject to inflation in any case. So we are left with real estate as a good way to invest our money, as it neither loses its value due to inflation nor is it always in demand. Moreover, after a few years we benefit from the increase in value of the property.

The great advantage of a property as an investment is that it is rented out, unless you want to buy your property for your own use. The income from the rent generates a constant cash flow, with which the property and all costs incurred can be covered. By earning a high return at best, you build wealth on top of that. In addition, real estate always remains fairly constant on the market, which means that you minimize risk when you buy.

• Real estate is stable in value
• Real estate offers inflation protection
• Real estate provides constant cash flow
• Asset building

Crowdinvesting: Videos

To better illustrate crowdfunding, we have two videos here for you to illustrate the point.

What is crowdinvesting?

Here, crowdinvesting is explained to you with the help of graphics and drawings.

Living space for owner-occupiers: criteria

Here, the focus is clearly on one’s own well-being. Also, one should have a view on the future, personal development, such as offspring. In no case should you think too “big”, because the larger the area, the higher the purchase price. Another point; The equipment you can always expand, the living space itself only in rare cases.

Here is a brief summary of the criteria for owner-occupants:

• Well-being has priority
• Plan sufficient living space for the future, e.g. family planning
• Area not too oversized > Purchase price, ancillary costs
• Equipment can be improved later

Living space for capital investors: criteria

When you buy a property as an investment, your main goal is to rent it out in order to generate sufficient cash flow. This is achieved by setting three goals. Firstly, a high rental yield, good rentability and low vacancy.

Here is an overview of the three goals:

1. High rental yield
2. Good rentability
3. Few vacancies

4 Tips for Investors: Exclusive Insiders

Here we have for you four exclusive tips for buying your condo.

Tip 1: Relation of size and number of rooms

At the beginning, the relation of size and number of rooms is very important. Example: A 120 m² apartment with 2 rooms is just as difficult to rent as a 60 m² apartment with 5 rooms.

Tip 2: Division of an apartment

Large apartments are more difficult to rent than small and medium-sized apartments, which is why their vacancy rate is also lower. In the long run, you can earn a good return on these apartments. So if you are offered a larger property in an A-location, you should think about renting it out as a shared apartment. Here, too, a high return can be expected.

With a four-room apartment that you rent to a family, the return is lower, but the tenant turnover is not as high.

Tip 3: Number of rooms and square meters

In the long term, typical apartments around 50 to 80 m² with 2 to 3 rooms have proven themselves.

Tip 4: Go for one-bedroom apartments

If you buy in a good A or B location, you should rather go for 20 to 40 m² one-bedroom apartments, because there are more and more singles on the market. With a smaller living space you achieve a higher rent per square meter.

The next step: ground lease

When dealing with the topic of ground leases for the first time, many questions arise. What is a ground lease and does it make sense? Also one wants to know whether one can deduct the costs of the ground lease, the ground rent from the tax? All your questions will be answered here. Learn in this article the advantages and disadvantages on the subject of ground lease for personal use and capital investment.

Existing or new building: advantages and disadvantages

When buying a home, in addition to the question of owner-occupancy or capital investment and return or investment property, one wonders whether to invest in existing or new construction. Both forms have their advantages and disadvantages. In this article, you will learn what they are.

• Existing or new construction

Buying new construction: Is New Always Better?

New construction refers exclusively to completely, newly built objects. On the one hand, they are uncomplicated because everything is state of the art, resulting in a low risk of maintenance and repair costs. On the other hand, you have to expect significantly higher investment costs here, which means a low return on investment and a higher incidental purchase price payment.

Advantages of new construction

• Current state of the art
• Low risk for maintenance and repairs
• Co-determination in interior design

Disadvantages of new construction

• Higher purchase price and incidental purchase costs
• Lower rental yield
• High value loss at the beginning
• Other costs for public development

Buy stock: Old also has its advantages

Existing real estate has many advantages. In addition to a lower purchase price, you only have to pay a low amount of incidental purchase costs. However, due to the age of the building, there is a higher risk for maintenance and repairs.

Advantages of stock

• Low purchase price and incidental purchase costs
• Low use of equity capital
• Higher rental yield
• No costs for public development

Disadvantages of stock

• Higher risk for maintenance and repairs

Conclusion: Invest in new or existing buildings?

Whether new construction or existing depends on your individual goals. Nevertheless, existing properties with a higher return and a low purchase price and ancillary purchase costs are the more sensible investment to buy your first property.

The next step: Year of construction and condition of a property

You want to invest in an old building? Then you need to consider a few things before buying. Old properties have some advantages, but also disadvantages. We have compiled a brief overview of all the facts of the different construction years in comparison.

Rental yield & purchase price factor: calculations

A property can be evaluated in terms of its profitability by two factors – the rental yield and the purchase price factor. The rental yield indicates the amount of costs generated by the rental income. The purchase price factor indicates how many years one would have to pay off the property to be purchased. These two values can be used to decide which real estate offer to accept.

Here you can learn more about the calculation of rental yield and purchase price factor/ Immobilien-Erfahrung.de

Rental yield: Does the rental income cover my costs?

The rental yield is an amount generated by the rental income of your property. This must always be checked before buying a yield property. 2 factors tell whether a property covers the monthly costs through rental income. If this is above 6%, the monthly costs are covered at current interest rates. Anything above that means additional capital accumulation for you.

A good rental yield:

From 5% upwards at current interest rates

A simple formula can be used to calculate the gross rental yield:

Annual yield (rent) / investment x 100 = rental yield

Purchase price factor: How long do I have to pay off?

The purchase price factor puts the purchase price in relation to the annual rental income. The result indicates in how many years the purchased property will be paid off. In this way, you can make a comparison between offered properties, which shows you the most profitable property.

The formula for calculating the purchase price factor is as follows:

Investment / annual net income = purchase price factor

The next step: minimum rental yield

How high must the rental yield be at least so that I can let my tenant pay off the purchased property without worrying about having to pay interest and repay the principal? This is a question that capital investors in particular ask themselves when they want to invest in an income property and thus achieve efficient asset accumulation. Here you will learn everything about the minimum amount of the gross rental yield.

Yield or investment property: the difference lies in the goal

The direct difference between the two forms of investment lies in their objectives. Depending on how you would like to invest your money, both forms bring you profit. In short, through the return through rent you get a direct cash flow, through an investment property an increase in value takes place in the long term. But what do the terms mean in detail?

Return on property: Constant cash flow

Yield Real estate generates a high rental yield. This means that after all deductions, such as repayment, interest and management, a surplus remains which you can credit to your own pocket. The goal when buying a yield property should always be in front of your eyes:

• Primary: Direct profit through surplus from rentals
• Corresponding rental yield should be guaranteed >6%.
• Properties are located in C+ (higher risks) to B+ (hardly any risk) locations

Investment property: long-term value enhancement

When buying investment real estate, one keeps the goal of value enhancement in mind. The profitable sale of the property at a profit is the main focus, not the income from the rent. The goal when buying an investment property is therefore the following:

• Primary: Increase in value of the property with profit from the sale
• Real estate should be located in A- locations

Advantage yield real estate: Top profit in B and C locations

Investment property requires a lot of capital, since there is no immediate income from renting – ergo no immediate cash flow. It therefore takes years before the property can be sold again at a profit.

What is worthwhile here for the beginning to enter significantly more, are yield real estate.

Yield real estate: advantages

An investment property offers many advantages. We have listed them for you here.

• Instant source of income
• Surpluses can offset other properties with shortfalls

Yield real estate: Disadvantages

However, we also have to note disadvantages here, even if this is the best way for beginners. What they are, read here yourself:

• Surpluses are subject to taxation, tax burden increases
• Higher yield comes at the expense of value enhancement
• Not to be found in A- locations

Excursus A- B- and C- position: Alternatives

You can’t find a yield property for you in an A- location like Berlin or Hamburg? Our tip: Look for properties in B- or C- locations, this will make your search easier.

B- and C- position – Why?

• Real estate search is less complicated
• Moderate prices
• The supply of yield properties is greater here

Here you can learn more about A- B- and C- locations./ Immobilien-Erfahrung.de

Alternative: Buy an apartment and rent it out

An alternative to direct new construction: Start with owner-occupation! This brings you several advantages. For example, banks do not set such high criteria for owner-occupied properties as they do for investment properties. With owner-occupiers, they also like to turn a blind eye to equity and monthly income. If you then move out after a year or two and rent the apartment, then that’s your business and no problem at all.
