Unique selling points
Transfer via share transaction: the buyer pays no German transfer tax on the property. Immediate stable return with clear growth potential.
Easy management; other apartments are in good condition.
Interesting for investors seeking a solid investment in German real estate. Currently, German real estate is still much cheaper than in the Netherlands.
The asking price is EUR 500,000 for the four apartments in total. So, only EUR 125,000 each. In Nijmegen, 15 km as the crow flies, you pay almost three times as much!
So yes: this is a long-term investment. You won't get rich from it tomorrow, but it is a smart move for the future. While others grumble that they can't buy anything in Nijmegen anymore, you drive across the border laughing and have three apartments for the same price.
Other
In Nijmegen, a 60 m² flat currently costs well over €315,000, more than €5,000 per m². The rent you receive is too low to cover interest, principal repayments, and additional costs, meaning you have to pay extra every year. If you cross the border to Kleve, just 15 kilometers away, you can buy a similar flat for €125,000. The rent there is lower, around €600 per month, but your annual loss is much smaller.
Moreover, Germany offers an attractive tax advantage: you can retain losses indefinitely and offset them in the future as soon as you make a profit, for example upon sale. Meanwhile, you pay off a portion of your loan every year and your property grows. House prices almost always rise—often erratically in the Netherlands, but somewhat more steadily in Germany. Nevertheless, Kleve moves along with the trend as soon as Nijmegen becomes even more expensive. For the price of one flat in Nijmegen, you can buy almost three in Kleve, allowing you to spread your risk and increasing your chances of both return and value appreciation in the long term.
