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.

Who is Alex Fischer?

Alex Fischer was born in 1973 in Munich. His parents were teachers with an interest in real estate, which is how he came into contact with the topic at an early age. After finishing high school, he completed an apprenticeship as an insurance salesman with a focus on life insurance, company pension provision, real estate financing, and investment. He then studied business administration.

Even during his studies, he switched to self-employment, deepened his practical knowledge through further training alongside his job, and learned from investors with a combined 127 years of real estate experience (according to his own statement).

Im Jahr 1994 gründete er seine erste Firma, 1996 eine Finanzberatungsgesellschaft in Form einer GmbH und 1998 seine erste Baufirma. Heute lebt und arbeitet Alex Fischer in Düsseldorf.

“In procurement lies the profit — whoever buys cheaply has already earned before he rents out.”
— Alex Fischer, roughly from various YouTube videos

The Tax-Saving Concept Explained Simply

The core of Alex Fischer’s approach is not rocket science, but new for many: Whoever invests money in real estate can save considerable taxes — legally and systematically. This works through several levers:

• Depreciation (AfA): Buildings can be depreciated for tax purposes over decades. For listed buildings, even accelerated depreciation is possible.
• Operating expenses: Interest, management, repairs — all deductible against rental income or other earnings.
• Asset management GmbH: For larger portfolios, a central Fischer topic: profits within the GmbH are taxed at about 15% corporate tax instead of the private top tax rate.
• Tax-free sale: After a holding period of 10 years, profits from the sale of real estate for private individuals are tax-free. Further information on this topic can be found in the article on tax-free real estate sales.

This concept is not a Fischer invention — but he has popularized it and made it understandable for a broad audience.

Apartment buildings as core investments

Fischer recommends apartment buildings as a preferred investment because:

• Multiple rental units distribute the risk of vacancies
• Management costs per unit are lower than for single-family homes
• Financing is possible with good creditworthiness without or with little equity
• Cash flow (rental income minus costs) can be positive from the time of purchase

More information can be found in the article buying an apartment building — including calculation examples and what buyers should pay attention to.

Books and courses

Alex Fischer’s most famous work is the book „Richer than the Geissens”, which has reached over 200,000 readers. It is aimed at beginners and describes his journey from insurance salesman to real estate investor. The book can be ordered for free (only shipping costs apply).

Courses and Coachings

• Real Estate Investor Master Course
• Tax Coaching — Saving Taxes with a System
• Career Power Coaching
• Financial Intelligence Coaching
• Homeowner Coaching
• Leadership Power Coaching
• The Small Real Estate Seminar (over 253 sessions)

The courses are expensive (several thousand euros). Fischer also publishes extensive free material on YouTube and as a podcast.

YouTube and Podcast

His YouTube channel has over 100,000 subscribers — he was one of the first German-speaking creators to reach this milestone in the field of real estate and taxes. The most viewed videos:

1. The Time Bombs in the Pension Decision (Part 1) — over 1.8 million views
2. How to Recognize the Right Purchase Price of a Property — about 900,000 views
3. How to get started in real estate — approx. 780,000 views
4. Save taxes by really understanding the tax game — approx. 670,000 views
5. Real estate financing without equity — approx. 580,000 views

The podcast “Richer than the Geissens” is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other platforms as a free audiobook.

Facts and figures

• Over 20 years of experience in the real estate and finance sector
• Over 841 seminars conducted
• Management of over 2,000 apartments in purchase and sale
• Over 523 published professional publications (according to his own statement)
• Media reports in n-tv, Wallstreet Online and other professional media

Criticism and objective assessment

Fischer’s basic principle — buying real estate with positive cash flow, legally optimizing taxes — is generally acknowledged by experienced investors. Criticism of Fischer usually concerns the following points:

• Simplified risk presentation: In videos and books, opportunities are often emphasized more than risks (vacancy, maintenance, interest rate increases, construction defects).
• Expensive Coachings: For thousands of euros in course fees, participants gain knowledge that in many cases is also accessible through books, free videos, or conversations with experienced investors.
• Practical Application: The tax-saving model works well for people with high income and stable creditworthiness. For career starters or people with low income, it is harder to implement.

Anyone using Fischer’s content should consider it as a starting point — and always secure their investment decisions with an independent tax advisor and a financial expert. Further basics on the topic of Investment Real Estate help with getting started.

Who is Alex Fischer suitable for?

Fischer’s approach is particularly relevant for:

• Self-employed individuals and entrepreneurs with high tax liability
• Employees with an annual income of around 60,000–80,000 EUR, for whom tax optimization has a noticeable effect
• People who already own 3–5 apartments and want to scale up
• Investors looking to enter multi-family homes and heritage real estate

For absolute beginners without equity or with low income, the barriers in practice are higher than in theory. Heritage real estate as a tax-saving tool is a topic of its own — more on this in the article Buy heritage real estate.

Comparison to other real estate coaches

In the German-speaking region, there are several well-known personalities in the field of real estate coaching. Alex Fischer is one of the pioneers of this format. Differences to other coaches:

• Focus on tax: Fischer has established tax savings as a central theme — more so than most others.
• Free content: Compared to purely high-priced coaches, Fischer publishes a lot for free.
• Practical relevance: He actively invests himself — which distinguishes him from pure theorists.

A direct comparison with other coaches is difficult, as independent return proofs are rarely published. Anyone who wants to Buy Real Estate should use multiple sources and not consider a single person as the sole authority.

Learn business skills, trading and real estate

Learn about the business world together with me. From absolute basics, like the types of companies, the types of taxes, to more complex topics, for example currency trading, trading cryptocurrencies, but also buying real estate, as an investment.

Why is it so important to understand business types? To understand taxes?

You are the architect of your own happiness.

Nobody but you can control (your explicit) business processes (so) intelligently. Controlling does not mean that you do everything. Controlling means that you act responsibly and delegate tasks. If you are the head of the company, you are the person responsible for its success.

You are the leader.

You don’t need to understand everything in detail, but you do need to understand the context. If you don’t know what your team or outsiders are doing, you can never judge whether a decision is good or bad for you and your company.

Don’t be a specialist, be a generalist.

Examples from practice: An insight

Example: Establish a holding company and secure assets

Let’s look directly at a practical example for your first company, your first startup. Have you ever dealt with the “holding model”? Without going into too much detail, you directly found two companies. More precisely, you found a company and this in turn founds a subsidiary company. The profits of your daughter company are then transferred to the parent company. So if your daughter company gets into trouble at some point, your entrepreneurial assets are secured.

9 out of 10 startups fail – in the first 5 years

Did you know that nine out of ten startups fail in the first five years? Once again, 9 out of 10 startups fail in the first five years. What does that mean for you? Imagine you finish school, vocational training, or college and you start with a few friends, you start your own companies. Even with four friends starting up, statistically each of your friends would have to go broke for you to survive as an entrepreneur.

Everyone has to go broke except you – statistically.

This reality check quickly makes young entrepreneurs realize how difficult the entrepreneurial game will be. Accordingly, it is important that you prepare yourself for the challenges.

Never see problems again, but solutions

The fact that you are listening to this podcast is a very good sign that you are interested in the right topics!

Establish a company: Quick and easy

Starting a company is pretty simple. All you need is a little start-up capital, maybe 1000 euros, an appointment with the notary and – simply put – you’re ready to go. You don’t even need the 1000 Euro starting capital, for example if you start your own business, as a businessman or businesswoman. Then 30 Euros, an identity card and an appointment at the Bürgeramt or Gewerbeamt are enough.

You only need start-up capital if your company is to be a “legal entity”. This means, for example, a UG, Unternehmergesellschaft, which later becomes a GmbH, a limited liability company. The big advantage of a legal entity is that you are not liable yourself. At least not in the usual, entrepreneurial activities.

Comparison offer: profit in purchasing

Another basic tip, even if it sounds very simple, always get different comparison quotes. Let’s say you want to build an online store for the products you want to sell in the future. The first online marketing agency will make you an offer of 80,000 euros, the second marketing agency an offer of 170,000 euros and the third marketing agency an offer for only 50,000 euros, with the same scope of services.

Obtaining three different offers alone directly saved 30,000 euros.

From saving, you learn to become rich.

As an entrepreneur, it is always a matter of knowing your options, testing them and playing your cards. No matter whether it is about the company formation, as in our example of the holding structure or the simple obtaining of various comparative offers to save money already in the purchase.

By the way. A very important tip:

In the purchase lies the profit!

Tax structuring = additional wealth creation

Later, when you have a turnover of a few hundred thousand or even millions, tax planning becomes an increasingly important issue for you. Of course you can now say, I’ll get a good tax advisor, I’ll get a financial specialist, but do they really do a good job? Highly paid you notice their mistakes only when you lose money after months or realize after years that millions have become only a few euros. If you don’t know anything about taxes, you won’t be able to oversee their work and therefore won’t be able to judge whether a decision is good or bad for you and your brand.

Income tax (self-employed) or profit in the company

An example from the later tax types. If you are self-employed, alone and without a UG or GmbH, you pay income tax. From an annual income of ~ 9,400 euros, the initial tax rate is 14%. The top tax rate for income from ~ 57,000 euros is then already 42%. You reach this tax rate with a monthly income of 4750 euros.

If you make money work for you, you only pay 25% capital gains tax. Above a certain income, you are almost forced to think about tax planning.

Together we take a look at the types of taxes but also real estate as an investment. Because what do all people have in common when they grow old and wealthy? Real estate. That’s exactly why we will also frequently deal with the topic of real estate as a capital investment.

Real estate as an investment

Real estate as an investment means that you buy a property to rent it out afterwards. The big advantage, if the real estate yield is right, which you will learn later, your tenant pays off your property. So to speak, passive capital accumulation.

Passive wealth accumulation: Financial freedom

Passive wealth creation? Passive income? Exactly now the alarm bells ring at the latest with many, the passive income, financial freedom, exactly that want many!

To be financially free, you need to be financially successful. If you don’t happen to have a million-dollar inheritance waiting for you, the only thing you can do is play the lottery or work hard.

Learn the path to entrepreneurship step by step in my podcast.

Once you understand the subject matter and have gathered knowledge through this podcast, but also through other sources of information, it’s also about marketing. Specifically, performance marketing. If you understand how to build reach and how to convert that reach into customers, then all avenues are open to you. The world is becoming more digital, learn to work with that and play that as your strength, your unfair advantage.

Buying real estate for beginners: New now!

For the first property, house or apartment, as an investment or for owner-occupiers, here we now collect knowledge and tools (formulas, etc.) for real estate beginners. In fact, we receive many emails, the questions become more and more, hence the idea to create a new project that specializes exclusively on the subject:

• Buy property – Immobilien-Erfahrung.de

Of course, with a focus on real estate as an investment (for rental, further sale), after all, you want to earn money with real estate! The first condo, the second condo, the third and fourth. Learn the basics here, with tips, experiences and mistakes. That way, you’ll be optimally prepared to buy your first property! You can find the entire guide now on Immobilien-Erfahrung.de.

After the cover (link to page), I’ll still introduce you to the steps involved in buying a condo or house.

PS: The book cover by me is just to clarify, it’s a lot of knowledge! I wish you much success in buying your first condo(s) or house(s)!

Let’s take a look at the contents together, in a brief overview.

Criteria of the property: goals?

Step number 1: We define your personal goals. Simply put:

• Real estate for own use and / or
• Real estate as an investment
• Real estate as a capital investment (with sufficient creditworthiness)

So before it goes into the real estate search process, think about your goals as a real estate investor. Are you simply concerned with self-interest or do you want the famous “financial freedom”, “never work again” and “live off real estate”, in other words “live very well”.

Retirement provision Self-interest – Stop!

It’s interesting that many get a property for their own use and then assume “I’ll never have to pay rent again!”

Many people make the mistake of thinking that if I buy a property for my own use, I’ll be set for my old age and live rent-free! A fatal mistake, because operating costs are always incurred. If the property is later 20, 30 or even 40 years old, there will also be many repairs, renovations and modernizations.

Therefore you think also with the goal “only” own use, about a second real estate, as capital investment!

At least to pay the operating costs in old age, as well as repairs and for a monthly, small return from the rent, the by then, already paid off property.

In addition to self-interest vs capital investment, it’s about examining your own financial situation. The big question:

How much real estate can you afford?

But you also get to know parameters, e.g. the location.

The perfect segue to your property search criteria.

Location, apartment type and condition

The following is about finding the right location for your real estate investment. There are different types of camps.

What are the 3 types of location for real estate?

You know the saying of all real estate agents and investors: “Location, location, location”. They are right, because location is a big parameter in your (later) profitability calculation.

In 99.9% of the cases we speak of A, B and C position.

A-location: Investment property

A-location in real estate means:

• Price: Very high purchase prices / prices per square metre
• Purchase of investment property (speculation on future)
• Locations like Munich

B-location: Yield property

B-location in real estate means:

• Price: High / “average” purchase prices
• Purchase of income property (cash flow from rental)
• Locations like Wiesbaden

C-location: risk property

C-location in real estate means:

• Small towns / municipalities in structurally weak regions
• Demographic, stagnant or declining development

Choice of location and proximity of the property(ies)

Ideally, you are looking for / buying a property in a location that is not too far away from your “life”. You yourself live in Hanover, but your family lives in Munich? Then sometimes locations that are on the way can also come into question. Practical for viewings and also the later work on and with the property.

On the way are, here in the example, good cities in B-location (more profitable than Hannover, Munich itself), like:

• Kassel
• Nuremberg
• Ingolstadt
• Göttingen
• Würzburg
• Erfurt
• Jena
• Bamberg

Here’s how your site selection works as a real estate newbie, simply put.

That is, the choice of location refers again to the preparation in step 1. A property that is hundreds of kilometers away and visits are associated with great effort, is not recommended as the first property.

What type of property fits your location, financial situation and demographics? As a real estate investor, there are many different types of apartments and houses available to you. The question is, what type of property best fits your personal goals that you defined in Step 1?

Equity: Financing? Credit rating?

We’ve already discussed the question, “how much property can I afford?”. Typically, the bank requires about 15% equity, depending on your credit rating, bank and contact person (+/- 5%). However, with good credit, you can manage to finance with 0% equity.

Creditworthiness, i.e. credit rating and available equity, are an important issue for real estate beginners, because who can pay cash for a property?

At the same time, opinions differ here: owner-occupiers should provide as much capital as possible. Investors, on the other hand, should try to provide as little equity as possible for the financing, ideally 0%.

Why and why, learn for free, on Immobilien-Erfahrung.de!

• Buy property

Find an apartment: Brokers, portals, …?

You have defined your goals, checked the location and found optimal regions and locations for you. You have checked your credit rating, the financing and maybe even a previous financing confirmation for amount XY.

Tip! With a prior confirmation of financing from your bank, you will get good, profitable properties much faster.

This means that the bank confirms in advance: We would finance Mr or Mrs XY a property worth XY.

Most people look for a property first and then go to their bank. This takes a lot of time and sometimes the seller quickly finds another person, especially in a real estate market like Germany, who buys the property and can provide the appropriate financing immediately.

After that, there are various ways and means to get real estate.

• Classified ads
• Classifieds on Ebay
• Real estate portals the ImmobilienScout24, Immonet and others
• Contact private network, “who knows someone who knows someone?”
• Real estate agent, also for accesses, real estate portal publication
• …

Valuing a condominium: purchase price?

You have found a property in your predicted location, at a good price for you, perfect! But is there anything you can do about the price? In general:

Is the property, whether an apartment or a house, worth the money?

Remember this:

An offer price (e.g. real estate portal) is not a sales price.

Advantage for you!

At least if you know how to argue for a lower selling price, with meaningful facts. The biggest factor in the reduction of the purchase price is, of course, the substance of the property. But how do you value a property? What aspects are included in a property valuation? What do you have to consider when it comes to common property, living room, bathroom, kitchen, roof truss,…

A sound property valuation has the most effective impact when it comes to the purchase price design. You cannot find better arguments than clear facts.

You will also learn how to “value” a property from the first glance at the offer. More precisely, you calculate the profitability of the property when rented. This value (rental yield) gives an insight, through only 2 factors: purchase price and annual rent.

Tip for future real estate investors!

There are two things you will constantly need and hear: Rental yield, or more accurately gross rental yield, and the purchase price factor. Both help to quickly evaluate real estate listings. Learn more about the difference here and get to know my recommendation for you, as a real estate beginner:

• Rental yield vs purchase price factor

Purchase process, notary, land register, handover of keys?

Last but not least comes the purchase transaction. Everything from the notary, to the preliminary purchase agreement, the purchase contract, land registration, handover of keys and of course all the costs that you, as a real estate buyer, have to transfer to the various agencies.

In addition to the purchase price, there are also the ancillary purchase costs. The ancillary purchase costs, whether house or condominium, consist in most cases of:

• Notary fees
• Costs for the land register entry
• Brokerage costs
• Real estate transfer tax

For real estate buyers, important in the first step, the land transfer tax. The land transfer tax varies depending on the federal state, it is currently between 3.5% and 6.5% of the purchase price.

When the seller, the notary, if necessary the estate agent, as well as the tax office (land transfer tax) have been paid, the entry in the land register can be made.

Congratulations, you are the owner of your first property!
