Long-term rental The investment in this 4-bed apartment is not advised for long-term rental due to its current listing price being 31.2% above the fair value of €330,178, which limits potential profitability. With a gross yield of only 4.2% and its overall condition rated at 70/100, the property may struggle to attract stable long-term tenants. Family rental While the property is in a suburban area with good access to local amenities and public schools, the 31.2% gap from the fair value suggests it is overpriced for family rentals. The modest yield of 4.2% further indicates that families may seek more value elsewhere, impacting potential rental performance. Buy-and-hold A buy-and-hold strategy may not be effective given the property's 31.2% overvaluation, as the current listing price does not align with its fair value of €330,178. The limited gross yield of 4.2% suggests inadequate income generation over time, which could hinder long-term appreciation potential.
[Tenant turnover risk] With a tenant stability score of 70/100, there is a significant risk of tenant turnover, potentially leading to increased vacancy rates and higher costs related to leasing and property management.
