Entry into capital investment real estate: 4 basics

Real estate acquisition: how to find cheap real estate, houses and apartments?

Finding the right property is the first step on the road to a successful investment. To find affordable properties, you should rely on various resources. Real estate portals on the Internet, real estate agents, auctions and even personal contacts can help you discover suitable offers. Be sure to check different locations and types of properties to have a wide range of options.

• Use personal contacts and networks
• Neighborhood
• B2B contacts (brokers, administrators, craftsmen, …)
• Direct approach to owners

Real estate yield: what is yield and how do you calculate it?

The yield is a decisive factor for your investment. It indicates how much profit you will make from your property. To calculate the return, divide the annual net rental income by the purchase price of the property and multiply the result by 100 to express the return as a percentage. A good return depends on several factors, such as the property’s location, rental rates and operating costs. As a rule of thumb, a return of 5% or more is considered acceptable.

• Yield measures the profit of your real estate investment
• Calculation: (Annual net rental income / purchase price of the property) x 100
• Factors for good returns: location, rents, operating costs
• Target: Return of 5% or more

Financing: equity and repayment plan

Most real estate investors require financing, and equity is critical here. It is usually recommended to raise at least 20% of the purchase price as equity in order to obtain more favorable loan terms and minimize risk. The financing itself consists of interest and repayment. A repayment plan will help you organize the repayment of the loan and ensure that you remain financially sound in the long term.

• Recommended equity: at least 20% of the purchase price
• Financing consists of interest and repayment
• Create a repayment plan for structured repayment of the loan
• Look for favorable credit conditions

Property management: letting, avoiding vacancies and maintenance reserves

After the purchase of your property comes the phase of management. This is about finding tenants, avoiding vacancies and keeping the property in good condition. You can rent it out yourself or leave the management to a professional property management company. Make sure to set up a maintenance reserve to be able to finance unexpected repairs and renovations.

• Finding tenants and avoiding vacancies
• Choice between self-management and property management company
• Establishment of a maintenance reserve for repairs and renovations
• Long-term care of the property for value retention

Favorable real estate, yield, financing and renting

Investing in real estate can be a profitable and long-term stable way to increase your capital. With the above tips, you can lay the groundwork for successful real estate investment as a beginner. However, it is important to note that real estate investing comes with risks, and it is advisable to do thorough research before investing and seek professional advice if necessary. However, with the right preparation and a clear plan, you can make great progress on the road to financial independence and security.

The Villa: Exclusive with day and night house

First of all the facts of the property: The villa is situated on a total area of 1.302 m² and offers a living area of 583 m².

The villa (new construction) is located in one of the most exclusive locations in Marbella, directly above the “Golden Mile”, in the heart of the city. The Golden Mile is above the “beach and city area” and stretches up the mountain (Shell Mountain).

The higher the location, the more exclusive the villas.

The entire neighborhood is only accessible by checkpoint, so the area offers an extremely safe location, day or night.

This one, not only stands higher up, so also very safe, the villa itself rises on a small promontory, so it has an absolutely unobstructed location / view. Perfect view to the mountains and at the same time, over the Mediterranean Sea and Marbella’s city center, for example from the rooftop terrace of the day house. But more about that in a moment.

First of all, a special feature, the villas in the area, are all built in the Spanish style, accordingly, there is a very different flair in this neighborhood, as in a complete new development. While this property is an ultra modern statement in the neighborhood.

Already in front of the house, at the entrance, one is at first lost for words, especially if one is not used to this amount of palm trees. Privacy screen but also shade.

Property: Architecture Highlight

Property – the property itself seems at first, as from one cast, but is divided into a larger house, for the morning and evening and a smaller house, for the day. Both areas are connected, with roofing. That’s how you live in Spain, especially in areas like Ibiza and Marbella, house and land have partly flowing transitions.

Day house and evening house

The day house is divided into two central areas and a rooftop terrace, standing above. Work and or live, eat with friends or family and to space and free space, upstairs on the terrace.

The evening house is designed for the evening, night and morning. Here you will find a total of 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The individual areas in this house do not waste too much space, leaving plenty of room and area for the garden, swimming pool and day house.

Equipment and extras

Extras at a glance:

• Alert
• High level
• Air conditioning
• Furnished
• Elevator
• Floor Air Conditioner
• New building

Swimming pool and waterfall

The pool does not run across the house, as most do, but it stretches away from the house, towards the Mediterranean Sea. This gives the pool something stately, through the clever use of space. The ultimate highlight, however, is an approximately 10 meter long artificial waterfall. When the waterfall is in operation, it radiates a charming atmosphere over the entire property, almost as if you were in the forest and would hear the splashing, or even better the murmur, of a stream.

This is how you bring the sea and the water directly into your home.

Marbella: Villa, climate and a new home?

Perfect location, in the middle of Marbella, above the Golden Mile. Unobstructed views, down to the beach, the city centre and of course up towards the shell mountain. Did you know? In Marbella, they say that Shell Mountain, always keeps the bad weather away from the city. The heat from the interior, but also clouds and rain. So Marbella always has a pleasant, warm climate and the year is almost exclusively sunny days.

The special division into two different sectors, the spacious outdoor area with stately pool and waterfall, that makes this property so special.

Free space for singles, couples and entrepreneurs, as well as for the family.

Tip. Renting – Also, always important in hotspots like Marbella, renting during the time they are not on site. Many are in Marbella (Miami of Europe) especially during the cold winter months. In the summer, many of the villas are rented at good prices, so for you, good returns in vacancy!

Location in Marbella: Golden Mile

Location – If you want to be in the middle of Marbella, only 30, 40 minutes away from the airport (Malàga), only a few minutes away from the Mediterranean Sea, you should settle in the city, more precisely in the quarters above the Golden Mile. Also left and right of the city center, the “Old-Town” of Marbella.

So this extremely good location offers ultimate proximity to the city, the beach, the airport and also exclusivity and security; an important aspect for many buyers.

Situation at a glance:

• Only 40 minutes to the airport (Málaga)
• Over 100 golf courses nearby

Marbella: location and map (macro)

Interiors: living room, bedrooms and bathrooms

Living space – A quick overview of the property: The total living space of 767 m² is distributed over 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and an extremely large living area, on the ground floor.

Living Area: Living Room Gallery and Dining Room

The living area is more or less a living room, gallery and dining room in one. Rarely found, more often the villas, here in Marbella and on the Costa del Sol, are rather divided into individual rooms instead of spacious areas. This is what makes this villa so special. The reception area and transition to the living area, are welcoming. Especially when living well in Marbella, with family and friends, a key aspect when buying.

The interior, as already briefly described, is very spacious, especially on the ground floor, in a large, open living area. Everything from noble materials, even the entertainment corner, exclusive marble. What I particularly liked about the property, in addition to the large, open spaces, the ground level windows, for extremely much light.

Upper floor: bedrooms and bathrooms

On the first floor you will also find three rooms each, each with a separate bathroom. The highlight, each one is individually designed and furnished. On the first floor are also, for each individual room, an equally separate outdoor area (terrace), of course in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea.

If you want to see even more interior design highlights, check out the gallery above!

Basement: Wellness, Fitness and Personal

Basement – In the basement is also a private spa or wellness area with sauna, mini-pool and you also have plenty of space for their own little gym. Furthermore, you will find here in the basement still an extra room, which can be inhabited / used for example by staff (nanny or similar).

Interior summarized:

• Ground floor: Large living area plus kitchen
• First floor: living, bedrooms and bathrooms
• UG: Spa, fitness and staff room

Perfect for families who can spend their time separately, but also perfect for renting. Renting is a big issue in Marbella, because many people only spend a few months of the year here, for example the autumn and winter time. Then in the spring and summer it’s back home. Rental, maintenance, take care of everything service is on site.

Further equipment

Here are a few more highlights of the villa:

• Garage

• Air conditioning
• Fireplace
• Basement

Sea side: terrace, garden and pool

Plot – From the outside there is no view of the plot. At the same time you have an excellent view from the property, down to the beach and over the whole Mediterranean Sea. The villa itself is located a little further up, in the exclusive shops, here nothing blocks the beautiful view, day and night. In particular, the starry sky is beautiful always at yes, the few lights from the city there and no lights on the Mediterranean.

In the spacious garden you will also find the swimming pool, which not only provides cooling, but is actually suitable for swimming. Of course, it’s south-facing, so the water temperature is always pleasant.

The garden is currently still relatively minimalist, but here, depending on your wishes, a real, colorful flower oasis could arise. After all, palm trees, banana trees, but also oranges grow in Marbella. By the way, the harvest time of the oranges starts in December, would you have expected that? That means, in the actually deepest winter, you can pick oranges in Marbella!

• Front: Unobstructed view to sea, city centre
• Back side: View of the mountains (Muschelberg)
• Clear starry skies almost every day of the year

Mountain side: BBQ and 400 year old olive tree

Behind the villa is further space, for example for BBQ. Depending on the position of the sun and the season, this space is used especially in the hot summer months. Another highlight: a specially planted, 400 year old, impressive olive tree. Did you know? Olive trees can live for thousands of years.

Another highlight, a small waterfall, right next to the BBQ area.

At the side: 2 parking spaces (covered), private way

You reach your private parking space via a small, private road. Here you have space for 2 cars.

For golfers an equally attractive location, Marbella is the “Miami of Europe”, there are over 100 golf courses nearby! By car you can reach several, very good golf courses in a few minutes (Tip: Golf courses in Marbella). E.g. also the golf club Los Naranjos. Translated, this means the orange trees.
