In Part 1 of “Real Estate Investment, Pre Acquisition Phase - Information Gathering” I have shown why this is one of the most difficult phases with far reaching impact on the entire outcome of a Property Investment. Based on your Investment Philosophy, the Property Market Research and the findings from your project related information gathering you have first shifts in the ranking of your pre-selected property. This second part of the article series will help to further determine which property would be the right choice.

I will provide some sources of generally available information about properties and the area they are located in, e.g. rent tables. They are used to determine if the property is at its prime rent level or even at risk of being over-rented in the current property market. Is there a possible upside on the income side or has the property been set up for a sale by incentivized renting to produce high rental income? As an example Berlin is used as the local market with the highest relevance in Germany. In other regions and cities in Germany there is similar information available.
