Garages as capital investments

Anyone who finds shares too insecure, savings accounts and the like too unprofitable and traditional real estate too expensive should take a look at the “garage” investment …

In fact, it is not so easy at the moment to invest medium-sized sums of money in such a way that the return and short- or medium-term investment risk are in a reasonable relationship to each other. Garages as an investment can actually be a clever alternative.

In terms of costs, the entry into the “garage” property is manageable

The purchase costs for one or more garages can also be shouldered by normal earners
The total acquisition costs can be precisely controlled by the number of garages
Only the land costs are actually variable

The income opportunities for garage rentals are sometimes very interesting

In fact, the number of vehicles in Germany continues to grow (from 2018 to 2019 by 1.3 % to over 47 million cars)
As a result, the shortage of parking spaces is increasing in many cities and regions – the demand for parking spaces close to home is higher than ever!
This in turn naturally has a positive effect on rental income from garages

In addition, there are several special effects in the rental of garages

Rent accounting is very simple compared to accounting for houses or apartments
Ancillary costs are only incurred to a manageable extent
Garage maintenance is also very simple
The wear and tear on garages is also usually very manageable
Garage rentals are particularly easy to regulate contractually
An attractive additional market is growing as the proportion of e-mobiles increases

In the USA, the return on garage rentals is between 6 and 8 percent!

Some time ago, a US university calculated that garages and parking spaces can generate a return of between 6 and 8 percent. Whether this is also possible at this level in Germany cannot be statistically proven, as no studies have yet been carried out. The fact is, however, that the returns can be extremely interesting.

The decisive factor is the small-scale location of the garage(s). Experts recommend examining the detailed geographical structure of supply and demand on site very carefully – sometimes two streets away can determine whether a garage fetches EUR 80 or EUR 140 per month. Logical: after all, car owners prefer short walking distances to their garage. If the walking distances become longer, the income achievable on the market decreases – even if demand is relatively high.
