Gross rental yields remain low in Germany’s major cities, at under 5%. The difference between Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich are relatively small, with apartments in Frankfurt (4.63%) and Berlin (4.62%) yielding very slightly more than partments in Munich (4.44%).
These yield figures are low. For German investors, they may be compensated for by relatively generous tax breaks. Non-resident foreign investors, on the other hand, suffer tax penalties when they buy property in Germany.
