1/ The 5 biggest myths about buying property in Berlin — and the reality 🧵

2/ Myth: "Berlin is too expensive."
Reality: Still 30–50% cheaper than Munich, Paris or London.
For a capital city with sub-1% vacancy.

3/ Myth: "I've missed the window."
Reality: 40,000+ new residents a year. Demand is still outpacing supply.
The window is open.

4/ Myth: "It's impossible as a foreigner."
Reality: We help international clients buy, finance and manage remotely — every week.

5/ Myth: "Co-living is too complicated."
Reality: We handle furnishing, tenants, management.
You collect the rent.

6/ Myth: "Now isn't the right time."
Reality: The right time is when you have a strategy.
DM us — we'll build yours.

The biggest cost in real estate isn't the purchase price.

It's the years spent waiting, researching, hesitating — while prices rise and rent goes uncollected.

We've taken Berlin clients from first call to first rent in under 4 months.

The process was never the hard part.
The decision was.

Happy to walk anyone through it 👇

1/ Germany’s 4 co-living markets ranked by value in 2026 — our honest take 🧵

2/ Leipzig 🥇
Best yield: ~5.9%
Entry: ~€180k
Stage: still early but rising fast
Verdict: best value right now

3/ Nürnberg 🥈
Yield: up to 5.4%
Entry: under €300k
Stage: 3–5 years ahead of the curve
Verdict: best hidden opportunity

4/ Berlin 🥉
Yield: ~4.8%
Entry: €400k+
Stage: established, competitive
Verdict: stable, lower upside

5/ München 4th
Yield: ~3.9%
Entry: €700k+
Stage: premium, mature
Verdict: prestige play, low yield

6/ Our recommendation for 2026:
Start in Leipzig or Nürnberg.
Scale to Berlin.
Diversify with München later.

#CoLiving #GermanyProperty #PassiveIncome

Nürnberg numbers that still surprise people:

→ Avg. apartment price: under €300k
→ Co-living rent per room: €550–700/mo
→ 3-room apartment = ~€1,750/mo income
→ Gross yield: up to 5.4%
→ Population growth: +8% last decade

Less known than Berlin. More upside than Munich.

The window is open — for now.

Germany has one of the highest income tax rates in the world.

But here's what most people miss:

Real estate is the only asset class where the government actively rewards you with tax incentives — because it needs private investors to solve the housing crisis.

AfA depreciation. Interest deductions. Renovation offsets.

For a high earner: €5,000–15,000+ in annual tax savings.

#GermanyTax #RealEstateTips

[IRE Berlin @IreBerlin]

1/ As a high-income professional in Germany, you’re paying up to 50% in taxes. Here’s the only legal way to change that 🧵

2/ Stocks? Capital gains taxed.
Savings? Taxed.
Salary? Taxed before it hits your account.
The government takes a cut at every single step.

3/ Real estate is different.
The German government NEEDS private investors to solve the housing crisis.
In return? Tax incentives that actually move the needle.

4/ What you can deduct:
→ Property depreciation (AfA): 2–3% of building value annually
→ Interest on mortgage: fully deductible
→ Renovation & maintenance costs
→ Management fees, legal costs, travel

5/ The result: your taxable income drops significantly.
For a high earner, this can mean €5,000–15,000+ in annual tax savings.
IRE Berlin structures every purchase for maximum tax efficiency.

6/ This is why we exist.
Not just to help you buy — but to help you keep more of what you earn.

1/ How to go from 1 apartment to a €1M portfolio in Germany- a realistic roadmap 🧵

2/ Start with 1 co-living unit.
Target: 5%+ gross yield.
Best entry: Leipzig (~€180k) or Nürnberg (~€260k).

3/ Reinvest 50% of net income.
Month 1–36: build your deposit for property #2.
The income funds the next purchase.

4/ Year 3–4: buy property #2.
Diversify cities: Leipzig yield + Berlin appreciation.
Two assets. Two strategies. One portfolio.

5/ Use rising equity for leverage.
Property #1 gains value. Use it to finance property #3.
Compound effect starts here.

6/ Year 8–10:
€800k–1M portfolio.
€3–4k/mo passive income.
Fully managed. Truly passive.

7/ This is the playbook.
We've helped clients start this journey from 14 countries.

The 'real estate is too complicated for foreigners' myth needs to die.

We just helped a client in Singapore close on a German apartment — remotely, in 90 days.

No flights.
No on-site viewings.
No local contacts.

Month 1 passive income: €1,740.

The process is clear if you have the right team.

1/ 3 mistakes international buyers make when buying property in Germany — and how we help avoid them 🧵

2/ Mistake 1: Skipping the Grundbuch check.
Always verify ownership and existing liens before committing. Non-negotiable.

3/ Mistake 2: Underestimating additional costs.
Budget 10–15% on top of purchase price: notary, land tax, agent fees.
On €200k → that's up to €30k extra.

4/ Mistake 3: Going without local support.
Language barriers. Legal complexity. Different banking system.
We've seen all three. We help you navigate every one.

5/ IRE Berlin exists because these mistakes are avoidable.

The gap between renting and owning is closing fast.

For investors: buy now, rent out at today's high demand.
