Investing in Prague City Centre (Prague 1), Czech Republic

[Matthew Song Loong]

Hi, just a quick introduction of myself

I'm Matthew, born in Holland, and I've been living in the city centre of Prague (Czech Republic) since 2012 and bought my first property in 2014.

I acquired my second property this year (waaaay smaller, as the prices have shot up!) and I'm working on getting my next property/properties now. Renting out in the centre is often not profitable, but there should be enough potential to still make money (e.g.: Rent out, Buy & Hold).

The biggest question however, is how to finance it? I could wait yet another few years when my income finally increases enough to be allowed to get another mortgage... Yup, mortgage can "only" be 45% of net income here. Who knows how old I'll be by that time...

However, there should be other ways to finance another property too, I believe (e.g.: apply for mortgage as LLC)?

Hi Matthew,
the best would be LLC but in CZ they are quite conservative when it comes to newly established LLC , especially LTV - guess the best you can have is 70%.

On a different note, does it make sense to invest in Prague 1 or 2 these days? Mortgage monthly payment is higher than the rent you can get, isn't it?
