2-room apartment on the 3rd floor of a well-maintained apartment building in Bochum-Wattenscheid, with a living area of 53.79 m². Heated by a gas-powered central heating system. No balcony, no elevator; a parking space can be purchased separately. Built in 1954, energy efficiency class C (96.4 kWh/(m²·a)). The apartment is permanently rented and generates ongoing cash flow – the current net cold rent is €377.55 (7.02 €/m²), resulting in a gross yield of 5.09% on the asking price. The purchase price of €89,000 includes a rental subsidy of €4,000, paid out over the first 36 months after purchase (€111.11 per month), which increases the yield to 6.59% during that period. Depreciation of at least 4% can be claimed for this property (§ 7 Abs. 4 Satz 2 EStG, shorter remaining useful life). A detailed valuation report is not yet available, so this should be considered an expression of intent, not a guarantee. No tax advice is provided. The homeowners' association was newly established in 2026 as part of the division of the property, so no meeting minutes are currently available. A maintenance reserve of €11,000 has been established for the entire building. No special assessments are currently planned. The photos are original images of the apartment. For privacy reasons concerning the current tenant, the furniture has been digitally removed using AI image editing; no changes have been made to the building's structure or the layout of the rooms.
