Investing in stability

Garcia & Co. Immobilien

Find property Your personal consultation

At the outset, it is crucial to differentiate between whether you want to purchase the property for your own use or whether it is intended as a capital investment. Purchasing a rented property as a capital investment opens the door to stable income and reliable financial appreciation. The ongoing rental income and potential increases in value on the real estate market make this investment attractive for long-term returns and broader diversification of your portfolio.

On the other hand, buying a property for your own use is ultimately an investment in the future. It is about creating a home that meets your needs and offers you long-term security and a foundation for personal and family development. Buying for your own use can also be seen as a form of financial security, as you can enjoy the benefits of home ownership and potential increases in value over the long term.

You should consider the following steps before buying:

1. Check rental agreements:
Start by carefully reviewing the existing rental agreements. Check the lease terms, conditions, rent amounts, and clauses to ensure that they meet your expectations and do not pose any unexpected risks.

2. Condition of the property:
Don't be fooled by appearances. A thorough inspection of the condition of the property is essential. Look out for any potential renovation work or ongoing maintenance costs that you may have to pay.

3. Tenancy and history:
Find out more about the previous relationship between the landlord and tenant. A positive history can be a sign of a stable source of income. Also check the payment history to assess potential risks.

4. Financing and return:
Carefully calculate the potential return. Take into account not only the purchase price, but also ongoing costs such as maintenance, taxes, and insurance.

If you have any questions or doubts, it is advisable to seek expert advice to ensure that you make an informed decision that feels right not only today but also in 20 years' time.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy a rented house?

Yes, it is possible to buy a rented house. Buying a rented property is a common investment strategy. When you buy, you automatically take over the existing rental agreements and the associated rights and obligations as the new owner. It is important to thoroughly review the terms of the existing rental agreements to ensure that they meet your expectations and plans for the property.

Can you register personal use when buying a rented apartment?

Yes, as the new owner of a rented apartment, you have the right to use it for your own purposes. This means that you can use the rented apartment for your own use, for example as your primary residence for yourself or family members. However, you must meet certain legal requirements in order to claim personal use. These include, among other things, providing reasonable grounds for personal use and complying with the notice periods.

How long after purchase is it possible to terminate the contract for personal use?

The exact deadline for termination due to personal use varies depending on the laws of the state or region in which the property is located. In the district of Olpe in North Rhine-Westphalia, the statutory notice periods in accordance with the German Civil Code (BGB) usually apply. According to § 573 BGB, the notice period for termination for personal use is usually three months to the end of the month.

As the new owner, to what extent can I make changes to the rental agreement?

As the new owner of a rented property, it may be possible to make changes to the rental agreement, but this depends on various factors. If changes to the lease agreement are necessary, for example due to renovations or modernization, these can be made in accordance with the legal provisions. However, existing rental agreements must be respected first and foremost, and changes are usually only possible by mutual agreement between you as the landlord and the tenant.

Sustainability in the real estate sector: support programs and benefits for owners

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, but plays a central role in the real estate sector. Owners who focus on energy-efficient construction, resource-saving modernization, or sustainable management of their properties today benefit in several ways: through government subsidy programs, long-term cost savings, and a significant increase in the value of their property. In the Olpe district and neighboring regions in particular, the requirements for sustainable standards are rising—and with them the demand for modern, future-proof properties. Whether KfW promotional loans for energy-efficient renovation, subsidies for photovoltaic systems, or special incentives from the federal states: it is worthwhile for owners to invest specifically in sustainable measures. In addition to reducing ongoing operating costs, such investments significantly increase the attractiveness of properties for buyers and tenants. Better rentability, higher return prospects, and a greater sense of security with regard to upcoming legal regulations are convincing arguments for more sustainability in real estate portfolios. Those who look into funding opportunities and sustainable concepts early on create real added value for themselves and future generations.

Barrier-free living: demand and implementation options in Olpe and the surrounding area

Barrier-free living is no longer a niche topic—demand is growing rapidly in Olpe and the surrounding region. More and more property owners and house hunters are recognizing the value of living space that is free of structural barriers and offers comfort for all generations. The focus is not only on seniors and people with physical limitations, but also on families who value flexible and future-proof living concepts. The growing demand for barrier-free real estate ensures that such properties are specifically sought after and carefully planned. Modern barrier-free apartments impress with wide passageways, level access, threshold-free bathrooms, and intelligent details that make everyday life noticeably easier. In Olpe, more and more builders, investors, and owners are focusing on high-quality fittings and innovative concepts in order to remain attractive in the long term and increase the value of their properties. Those who opt for barrier-free design early on not only secure a larger pool of interested buyers, but also invest in comfort and quality of life for the future. Especially in view of demographic change and new lifestyles, this is a decisive competitive advantage in the region's real estate market.

Real estate investment in 2025: opportunities and risks at a glance

The real estate market in 2025 offers both experienced investors and newcomers fascinating opportunities to diversify their investment strategies and enjoy sustainable returns. However, as in any area of investment, there are challenges that need to be overcome. In view of current economic developments and inflation, it is important to select the right properties with a clear focus and sound analysis. One key to success lies in close market observation and the identification of up-and-coming regions. Experts emphasize that interesting return opportunities exist particularly in urban areas with growing populations and increasing demand for residential and commercial space. However, potential risks, such as changing interest rate environments and regulatory uncertainties, should always be taken into account. Forward-looking planning and strategic alignment are therefore essential in order to fully exploit the advantages while avoiding potential pitfalls.

Current trends in the real estate market in 2025: What buyers and sellers should know

The real estate market in 2025 is facing dynamic changes that will have a significant impact on both buyers and sellers. One key trend is the increased use of digitalization in real estate, from virtual viewings to data-based price analyses. These technologies enable potential buyers to make informed decisions and offer sellers forward-looking marketing strategies. Demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient properties is also growing rapidly. Modern buyers value low emissions and sustainable construction, which has a significant impact on property values. Another trend is the urbanization of smaller cities, as more and more people are moving from large cities to smaller communities to benefit from a higher quality of life and lower prices. This development opens up opportunities for sellers who invest early in up-and-coming regions. At the same time, this means that buyers should consider more options outside the traditional "hotspots" in major cities. In summary, knowledge of these trends and their implications for the buying and selling process can have a decisive impact. It is now more important than ever for buyers and sellers to closely monitor the market and position themselves accordingly.
