It is important to choose the right apartment, to examine its condition, location and possible problems, and also to know how to calculate in advance the expected profit on the investment\u2013 how long it will take to return the investment and when you will start receiving a profit.<\/strong> In this article we will explain everything you need to know when purchasing real estate for investment purposes.<\/p>\n Investing in real estate has always been the preferred investment option for most Israelis. The stability of the sector, along with the steadily increasing apartment prices over decades, has encouraged those with wealth to put their money in the safest possible investment channel, with the understanding that in the most extreme scenario, they will earn only a little, but in no situation will they lose \u2013 not even a small part of the investment.<\/p>\n Of course, this assumption is not the gospel truth, and crises may occur in the real estate market, such as the sub-prime crisis in the US that caused apartment prices to plummet and lead to a deep recession in the world’s financial capital. But in general, the Israeli real estate market has demonstrated solid stability alongside a constant increase in housing prices.<\/p>\n The widespread phenomenon of buying apartments for investment has raised various legal questions regarding the process and how to choose the right property. That is why it is important to choose an expert real estate attorney<\/a> who will accompany you throughout the entire procedure, ensure that your actions are legally valid and reduce your risk in this type of transaction.<\/p>\n In this article we will list the important points that require attention in the phase of searching for a suitable apartment for investment.<\/p>\n As a general rule, purchasing an apartment for investment is the same as purchasing a residential property as far as the inspections required on the property<\/a> are concerned. The fact that you do not intend to live in the apartment does not mean that you can compromise on a quality location, an apartment in good condition or a preferred area. What might have been good for you as a residence will be good for potential tenants or for future buyers when you decide to sell it.<\/p>\n The choice of the property involves many details such as the choice of location: on the periphery or in a high-demand area; students or families. Or choosing the condition of the property: new from a contractor<\/a> or an old one that you will renovate; an area with potential for Tama 38<\/a> (Seismic retrofitting) or an area with a stable yield from the moment of purchase. There are many details that you must check, so it is important to consult with experts in the field from the very first step.<\/p>\n It is important that you carry out the list of actions required before purchasing an apartment<\/a>, or contact an expert attorney to accompany you in the transaction. It is also important at this stage to conduct preliminary inspections of the property that rule out the existence of construction violations and physical problems in the apartment you wish to purchase.<\/p>\n Note that physical problems in the apartment may cause many repair expenses during the rental period, which will reduce the profit percentages and may drive away potential tenants. So these tests are not merely for your convenience; they are essential to guarantee the investment and the maximum return on it.<\/p>\n You are making the transaction of purchasing the apartment for investment for financial reasons. That is, you want to earn as much as possible for your money. Sometimes you find an apartment at a bargain price, and it may be the deal of a lifetime that will give you a high return, but at the initial stage you don’t know how to calculate the expenses, and obviously not the return either.<\/p>\n For instance: if the price of the apartment is one million NIS, and the rent is 5,000 NIS per month, then the return is 6% and is definitely considered a high return, but you are not taking into account the ancillary costs<\/a> which increase the amount of investment required.<\/p>\n Main costs:<\/u><\/p>\n After reading the article so far, you have understood that for an investment apartment, what is important to you is the annual return and nothing else. The apartment can be beautiful and in a prime location, but if the investment does not yield a decent percentage, you will not want to purchase it.<\/p>\n Yield calculation is done with a simple formula \u2013 the amount of the investment compared to the annual income from renting the apartment. Note that we wrote the investment amount and not the price of the apartment, since the investment amount consists of the apartment price, mandatory taxes, ancillary costs such as brokers, an attorney and even the renovation of the apartment if necessary.<\/p>\n For example: if the apartment cost 900,000 NIS and the ancillary costs totaled 100,000 NIS, the investment amount is one million NIS. If the monthly rent is 4,000 NIS, then the annual rent is 48,000 NIS, and so the annual yield is 4.8% of the price of the apartment.<\/p>\n
