Very well done and you actually show what is crucial in such things: Some initiative, some courage and be "a little" asshole in which you press prices. The broker has calculated his stuff before and most real estate sellers know that they ask far too much. Even with the sum paid now, they are probably not exactly unhappy and were not ripped off. 😉 Very important, however, I find the paragraph with the tenant. Sure there are some tenants where clichés are true, but you should look at the tenants beforehand.

All those I know who generate a large part of their income/revenue through rental income prefer to rent to people with WBS or to people who are paid by the job center. They know that the rent will be paid on time and that rent increases are more often accepted without comment.

Those who rent out only one or two units, however, primarily prefer employees in my circle of acquaintances, since the "starting cold rent" can be set higher at the beginning. These people, however, defend themselves much more often against upcoming rent increases, even if they are due to the ancillary costs...

@Staatsmann Furthermore, the great thing is that the job centers give out "HLU lists" every year (HLU = Hilfe zum Lebensunterhalt). There, for each "Kaff" the maximum rent incl. cold ancillary costs is published annually and you can read your enforceable rent increase quasi :).

@LUD That's right! And the Jobcenter always pays, you don't have any rent shortfalls and I've never heard of the Jobcenter paying unpunctually. 😅

@Staatsmann I can confirm so far so, rent is always BEFORE the first of the month there.... 💸
