How does an investor get a return on the apartment?
The investor will receive income from, among other things, the development of the building, the development of the residential area and the general increase in value. By renting the property, you can already use it to cover all or part of the running costs of the apartment.
If you are into DIY, the best way to get a return on your investment is to renovate the apartment yourself. A few strategies for this are flipping and BRRRR. In flipping, you buy an unrenovated property and after the renovation you sell it on at a profit. The BRRRR strategy comes from the English words buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. First, you buy a cheap property to renovate, you renovate and rent the property. Because of the renovation, the bank values your apartment higher, so renegotiate the mortgage and at best you can buy another investment property and then repeat this same pattern over and over again. This way you can increase the amount of your housing investment.

What is a good investment apartment like?
A good investment property can be either a residential property or a vacation property. Location plays a big role in how much rent you can get for your property. In addition, take into account the property's condition, size, future renovations and its running costs. Wondering who could be a potential tenant? Is it an apartment suitable for a student, a family apartment or a destination suitable for vacations?
The apartment's good location is of paramount importance in an investment apartment. A good location does not necessarily mean that the apartment should be in the city center, but it can be within easy reach. For example, if the apartment is located 30 minutes away by train from the center of a large city, the beach, and the airport, then the apartment already meets the most important criteria of a good investment apartment.
We help you determine the monthly rent and, if it's a holiday apartment, we estimate the number of rented weeks per year. However, read the sales brochure carefully in advance and browse the photos of the property, and consider whether the apartment is suitable for your budget.

Business premises investment
Investing in business premises is often more profitable than investing in apartments. In business premises, the leases are usually long and the rent level is higher than in residential apartments. For the investor, this means a stable and predictable return. When investing in business premises, your property is also safe from inflation, because the rental income and the value of the property usually rise with inflation. Habita has many good properties suitable for office space investment.

Investment in land
When evaluating different real estate investment targets, it's worth considering investing in a plot of land as well. Land is a limited natural resource, and as the population grows, the demand for land increases. This leads to an increase in land value over time, which can provide a good return on investment.
Unlike other real estate investments, land requires little maintenance. You won't have to worry about fixing broken appliances or your roof, which can save you money in the long run.
Land has several different uses. When you buy a plot of land as an investment, check what the purpose of the plot is and what you can build on it. According to the laws of different countries, investing in land can also offer tax benefits, such as deductions from real estate taxes and depreciation.

Investing in a holiday home
Owning a holiday home in a popular destination is a dream for many of us. However, the occupancy rate of the holiday home is something to consider. It is worth buying a holiday home as an investment. A vacation home as an investment makes sense if it is located in a place where its rental use is guaranteed. By renting out your vacation home, you can cover the costs of the home. Habita has various holiday apartments around the world. Contact your favorite destination Habita, and we will present you with various second home options.
