Your apartment
as a capital asset

You buy an investment apartment not to live in yourself but as a capital asset: you let it long-term to permanent tenants and live off the ongoing rental income. In the city and province of Salzburg this means classic residential letting, so stable tenancies with people who live there permanently, not short-term tourist letting. A well laid-out apartment in a good location brings monthly rent and offers the prospect of value growth over the years. What matters is the location, the floor plan, the building fabric and a realistic purchase price; we check these points with you before the purchase.

A serious statement on returns always depends on the individual property, because location, size, condition, purchase price and running costs vary widely. The city of Salzburg is considered particularly value-stable thanks to steady demand for housing, and in good locations across the province solid rental yields combine with long-term appreciation. We guarantee no fixed percentages, but work through realistic ranges with you from actual rent and purchase-price data for the respective location, including incidental costs and financing. That way you see before buying what the property can individually support, without glossy promises.

Both have their place, and the right choice depends on your goal. A new-build investment apartment brings low maintenance effort, modern energy figures and often plannable letting from handover, in return for a higher price per square metre. An existing apartment in an established location can be cheaper to enter and offer room for an upgrade, but calls for a close look at condition, reserves and upcoming refurbishments. We show you suitable properties for both routes in the city and province of Salzburg and weigh the figures against each other soberly, so the decision fits your investment strategy.

A pension apartment is an investment apartment let on a permanent basis that can be treated for tax purposes as a commercial letting. In Austria, with VAT-liable letting and under certain conditions, the VAT on the purchase can be reclaimed, and running costs and depreciation reduce the taxable surplus. Whether and how this applies to you depends on your personal situation. We expressly give no tax advice: the specific tax arrangement belongs in the hands of your tax adviser, whom we are glad to put you in touch with if needed. We make sure the property, location and letting concept fit around it.
