This two-family house in Bühl, which has been extensively renovated in recent years, is located 1.2 kilometers from the border crossing, 20 kilometers from Schaffhausen, and 24 kilometers from Zurich Airport.

The return – transparent and realistic

This two-family house offers three usage scenarios: move in yourself and rent out the second unit, rent out both units, or use the attic as a vacation rental or Airbnb. All three options are profitable:

• Rental income attic (ca. 89 m²): ca. 890 €/month at 10 €/m² cold rent

• Rental income ground floor (ca. 112 m²): ca. 1,120 €/month at 10 €/m² cold rent

• Gross annual rental income with full rental: ca. 24,120 €

• Gross rental yield with full rental: ca. 4.2%

The purchase costs in Germany are significantly lower than those in Switzerland: real estate transfer tax in Baden-Württemberg 5%, notary public ca. 1.5%. For Swiss buyers, this means a more favorable entry point with immediately rentable properties and ongoing income in euros.
