Why do you even need an escort in Germany?

Investing in Germany is not like investing in your home country. The market works on contracts, different regulations and taxation, other players, and a purchasing process that requires coordination between a bank, notary, appraiser, attorney/tax advisor, and management company.

Important: It's not just about "finding a property" — but about being able to make a transaction without discovering in retrospect that there is a subsection that erases a return.

Who is it for?

An international investor looking for Economic stability outside the country of origin Through an income-producing property in Germany.
Anyone who wants to work With process And not “gamble.”
Those who prefer transparency, reports, KPIs, and data-based decisions.

What are the goals of the escort?

Refine goal: recurring income / growth / integration.
Define criteria: region, property type, yield, tenant risk, Capex, investment horizon.
Build a review process: so that transactions don't just "look good" on paper.
Put the puzzle together: bank + taxation + notary + management company.

Risk tolerance: vacancy / single tenant / location.
Realistic return target in Germany (net / before tax) depending on the market and interest rate.

Tenant risks and rental agreements (duration, options, linkages).
Area: Demographics, employment, traffic, market rent.
Quick legal screening: exceptions/exceptional clauses/local regulation.

Step 3 — Due Diligence

Documents: rent roll, contracts, maintenance reports, insurance, legal status.
Technical inspection: condition of roof/facade/systems, Capex imminent.
Taxation review: recognized expenses, depreciation, scenarios.
Financing review: interest rate, LTV, DSCR scenarios.

Stage 4 — Negotiation and Closing

A structured offer (LOI/Angebot) based on numbers, not feelings.

Interest rate stress tests.

Local laws (which can affect rent, use, renovation).
Environment: noise, roads, infrastructure — things that raise/lower market rents.

FAQ

Do you “sell properties” or provide advice?

The focus is on supporting and advising the investor: process, testing, financing, taxation and management. If an off-market opportunity arises, it is presented as part of an organized process, not as a "sale."

How long does a transaction process take in Germany?

Usually weeks to months, depending on the documents, bank, notary, and the complexity of the property. The goal is not to rush — but to control the risks.

Can I receive financing as an Israeli?

Yes, in many cases it is possible. The conditions depend on income, reports, equity, the property itself and the bank. Proper work on a “bank portfolio” significantly increases the chances.

What is the difference between Property Management and Asset Management?

Property Management = Daily operations (tenants/collections/repairs). Asset Management = Value decisions (improvements, refinancing, contracts, strategy).

What is the next step?

Short mapping conversation: goals + budget + return expectations.
Setting clear criteria.
Filter deals by institutional language: yield, tenant, region, Capex, process.
