My friend, Ronan McMahon, thinks he knows where the next hot rental market is...and it's not where you think.
“Berlin?” I asked. “Are you kidding?”
“Property prices in the German capital haven't roared ahead like they have in the rest of Europe," Ronan said, "but rental yields have rocketed.”
And for good reason, he tells me—85% of Berliners are renters. Apartments cost about $1,450 per square meter, and rental yields are running around 7%.
Ronan thinks that there’s good money to be made providing places for all those Berliners to live.
He's on his way to the German capital—and he's also going back to Fortaleza, Brazil, to dig into a time-sensitive deal there.
Readers of Ronan's Real Estate Trend Alert newsletter will get all the details. Learn how you can become a part of this exclusive group.
