Attractive investment property with exceptional tax potential: This 3-room apartment on the ground floor of a listed multi-family building dating from 1793 offers 70.70 m² of living space in the historic old town of Gernsbach. The property is located within the formally designated redevelopment area "Altstadt II" of the city of Gernsbach. As an investor, you will benefit from the increased depreciation allowance under § 7h of the German Income Tax Act (EStG): Renovation costs can be depreciated at 9% per year (years 1-8) and 7% per year (years 9-12) – representing 100% of the renovation costs in just 12 years. In addition, the depreciation allowance for listed buildings (§ 7i EStG) applies to the building structure. The apartment is in an unrenovated but solid condition and will be handed over vacant. This gives you the opportunity to renovate the apartment according to your preferences and fully utilize the tax benefits. The estimated market rent is approximately €530 per month (€7.50/m²) – a significantly higher rental level is realistic after renovation. The layout includes a spacious entrance hall, three well-proportioned rooms (approximately 20 m², 23 m², and 23 m²), a kitchen with fitted appliances, and a bathroom. A cellar compartment is included with the apartment.
