Our strength: network, experience and active community management
For more than a decade, we have been looking after a steadily growing community of investors in Oberfranken and beyond – from private investors and project developers to family offices and international investment companies. We know their requirements, decision-making processes and goals – and we know how to broker suitable opportunities efficiently and discreetly.
Many of our investors are ready to close – that is, they have verified capital, a decision-making structure and an interest in fast, professionally managed transactions.
What makes us special: we look after not only properties, but also the people behind them. We actively maintain our contacts, keep our community informed and continue to support investors after the acquisition with letting, optimisation or exit scenarios.
Our strategies – tailored to goal, risk and time horizon
- Buy & hold: acquiring properties let on long-term leases with a solid yield
- Value add: renovation, change of use or re-letting to increase value
- Sale & leaseback: acquiring company properties with a leaseback
- Development projects: participation in business parks, health centres, mixed-use sites
- Club deals & co-investments: structuring investments with several partners
Analysis & matching – targeted and transparent
We examine every property for:
- Profitability & cash flow security
- Rent structure, lease terms, tenant creditworthiness
- Marketability, alternative use potential, development potential
- Legal and tax structuring options
Through our matching system, we can present offers that specifically match investor profiles – without wasted reach.

The three classic strategies
| Strategy | Properties | Yield | Risk | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core (security) | fully let, long leases, good tenants | lower | low | low |
| Value add (value growth) | vacancy, short leases, need for modernisation | higher | medium | medium to high |
| Opportunistic (development) | change of use, new build, revitalisation | high | high | high |
Many private investors in Oberfranken pursue a mix: a stable medical centre or a food store as a base, and a property with potential that gains value through letting and modernisation.
Key figures investors look at
- Net initial yield: net operating income in relation to the total investment
- WALT: weighted average unexpired lease term
- Vacancy rate and market rent in the surrounding area
- Maintenance requirements over the next ten years
- Alternative use potential: how easily can the space be used differently?

Frequently asked questions
How much capital do I need for a commercial investment?
Smaller properties such as shop units or practice units are available from around €150,000. For medical centres, supermarkets or logistics, volumes are usually one to several million euros. For commercial property, banks usually require more equity than for residential property.
Is commercial property riskier than residential?
The individual risk is higher, because there is often only one or a few tenants. In return, yields and lease terms are usually higher. A careful check of the tenant is crucial.
