Family rental The current listing price of €270,000 for this 2-bed apartment is significantly above the fair value of €148,000, indicating a 45.2% gap. With a gross yield of just 3.9%, the property does not present a compelling case for families seeking long-term rental options. Long-term rental The property's valuation at €270,000 compared to the fair value of €148,000 shows it is overpriced by 45.2%, rendering it less attractive for long-term rental investments. Additionally, with the current gross yield at only 3.9%, the financial returns do not align with typical expectations for rental properties in the area. Buy-and-hold At a listing price of €270,000, which exceeds the fair value of €148,000 by 45.2%, the buy-and-hold strategy appears less favorable as the property is overpriced. The low gross yield of 3.9% further questions the long-term investment potential of this apartment in the current market environment.
Tenant turnover risk High tenant turnover may be a concern as indicated by the tenant stability score of 70 out of 100, suggesting potential volatility in rental income.
