Client Profile: Klaus & Anja Schmidt, Engineering and Marketing Professionals, Munich, Germany.

Challenge: Seeking Higher Returns and Diversification Outside the Eurozone

Klaus and Anja, successful professionals in their late 40s based in Munich, were looking to diversify their investment portfolio beyond the German market. Frustrated by low rental yields (typically 2-3%) and high property taxes in their home city, they began exploring international real estate opportunities. Dubai, with its reputation for high rental returns, tax-free income, and economic stability, quickly caught their attention. However, they were initially hesitant due to their unfamiliarity with the market and the perceived complexities of purchasing property remotely from Germany.

"We knew Dubai offered potential, but investing overseas felt daunting," explained Klaus. "Finding a trustworthy partner who understood our goals and could navigate the process for us was crucial."

Solution: Expert Guidance and Tailored Property Selection by Bonne Apart

Attracted by Bonne Apart's strong presence and focus on European clients, Klaus and Anja reached out for an initial consultation. They were impressed by the team's deep market knowledge and multilingual capabilities. The Bonne Apart consultant took the time to understand their specific objectives: achieving a net rental yield significantly higher than in Munich (targeting 6-8%), securing long-term capital appreciation, and ensuring a hassle-free ownership experience through reliable property management.

Based on these requirements, Bonne Apart presented a curated selection of properties in high-demand rental areas known for attracting professionals and offering strong yields. They provided detailed financial projections, including expected rental income, service charges, and potential ROI, comparing them transparently with the Munich market.

Klaus and Anja ultimately chose a modern two-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina, a location renowned for its vibrant lifestyle, excellent amenities, and consistent rental demand. Bonne Apart facilitated the entire purchase process remotely, handling negotiations, coordinating legal requirements, and providing regular updates. "The process was surprisingly smooth," Anja recalled. "Bonne Apart managed everything efficiently, from virtual viewings to the final paperwork. We felt supported and informed every step of the way."

Results: Superior ROI and Effortless Ownership

Following the successful acquisition, Bonne Apart connected the Schmidts with their trusted property management partners. The apartment was quickly leased to a long-term tenant, exceeding their initial rental income projections.

• Achieved Net Rental Yield: Approximately 7% in the first year (after service charges and management fees), more than double what they could expect in Munich.
• Tax Savings: Complete savings on income tax for rental earnings and no annual property tax, significantly boosting their net return compared to a similar investment in Germany.
• Seamless Management: Professional property management handled tenant relations, maintenance, and rent collection, providing Klaus and Anja with a truly passive investment experience.
• Capital Appreciation: The property value showed positive appreciation within the first year, aligning with their long-term growth objectives.

"Investing in Dubai through Bonne Apart was the right decision," concluded Klaus. "We've achieved excellent returns, diversified our assets, and the entire process, including the ongoing management, has been effortless. We now see Dubai not just as an investment destination but potentially as a future second home location, thanks to the positive experience facilitated by Bonne Apart."
