Hi,

Happy to find some more Dutch residents here, would be great to get to know some more locals. I'd be very happy to organize a meet up in Amsterdam? Anyone have any details on the above mentioned groups? Thanks! 

 Ivor and I have those details. please pm

Also, not all properties are cash flow positive and are good to rent out. You should calculate the expected rent versus the investment to see if it makes sense to rent out your house or just sell it and buy for example some cheaper appartements.

The first sign that the proposed changes in the box3 taxes are not going to be final: https://www.consumentenbond.nl...

@Johan Rienstra Just to add to the post of Ivor: there are also rules for bringing the HRA from your current primary residence to your next. Please consult a mortgage/tax advisor.

Looking at the deal I'm currently working on: Loan to value in rented state 75%. Quick numbers: Pp 155.000 Closing costs: 7.500 (including taxation and financing) Minor repairs: 5.000 Total in the deal: 167.500 Value in rented state (not sure but around): 140.000 75% of 140.000 = 105.000 I can get financed. So out of pocket 167.500 - 105.000 = 62.500‬

I'm all for the guys at vastgoed beheer Gelderland. Working with them on my first rental property, even with the current global situation.

One strategy that bite my a** was trying to convert a house into separate apartments. That is a why to create a duplex :). Rules and regulations are prohibiting me to get a legal duplex. 

another strategy you can go for is student housing. Even buying a house and rent out a room. 

@Johan Annema, good to see you explore ideas around investing at your age. I'd go for the house hack and create a future where you can backpack the rest of your life.

Hi guys,

Is there anybody in this group who has experience with Buy-to-let properties in Netherlands?

I understood from my research that it was not allowed by dutch government. But guess now it's okay.

I am thinking about investing in rental properties and would love to know if somebody has experience with Buy-to-let properties or willing to invest in these kind of properties.

Maybe we can meet up somewhere and discuss about it.

Looking forward to meeting people with same interest!

Thanks

Samuel

Hi @Samuel Monter Arreguin,

What kind of research did you do? Because buy-to-let is allowed. 

Regards,

Ruud

I'm looking in the same region (Arnhem). I'm now focusing on buying a fairly new 2 bedroom apartment with low HOA fees and maintenance. I would like to answer questions you may have already. If you send a PM we can talk via Whatsapp, and I can add you to a Dutch whatsapp group.
