No commission: Renovated apartment, 2 balconies, available immediately – Suitable for personal use or as an investment property with an approximate yield of 6%.

For sale is this bright 3-room apartment with approximately 68 square meters of living space, located at Robertstraße 58 in Dortmund. The apartment is vacant, being renovated, and will be delivered with newly installed vinyl flooring. This means that whoever buys it can move in immediately, or rent it out from day one. There's no waiting for a tenant turnover, and no existing obligations from a previous rental agreement. The layout consists of three rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Thanks to the large windows, the entire apartment is flooded with light throughout the day. A special feature is the two balconies/loggias, accessible from the kitchen and the other rooms. They provide an outdoor space on two sides of the apartment, which is rare in this size and price range (please refer to the attached floor plan for the exact layout). A private storage room in the basement is included, offering additional storage space. The central heating system in the building has been completely renewed by us. This offers buyers not only comfort, but also peace of mind: One of the most significant renovation projects typically required in multi-family buildings of this age in the coming years has already been completed and is included in the purchase price – technically, you are up-to-date. For owner-occupiers, it's a renovated apartment with two balconies, ready to move into, at a price that offers few comparable new-build alternatives in Dortmund. For investors, it's a unit that can almost cover its costs with a realistic rental income. The sale is commission-free, directly from the owner – you save on additional real estate agent fees.

Additional purchase costs: €11,100
Total investment: €151,000
Equity: €35,000
Loan: €116,000
Interest rate 4.3% per annum: €415.67 / month

Tax effect (example with a 42% tax rate):

Plus net cash flow after taxes over 10 years: approximately €30,100
Total return on €35,000 equity: approximately €70,850 (approximately 12% per annum)
