Question 1

What is Sleepwell Living?

Accepted Answer

Sleepwell Living is a sustainable new construction project in Hattersheim am Main, specifically designed for investors – with rental guarantee, tax advantages and QNG certification.

Question 2

What does QNG certification mean for real estate?

Accepted Answer

QNG stands for "Quality Seal Sustainable Building". It confirms that the property is built in a particularly energy-efficient, healthy and sustainable manner – and enables additional subsidies.

Question 3

What tax advantages does Sleepwell Living offer?

Accepted Answer

Investors benefit from accelerated depreciation and special depreciation allowances for new buildings. This allows up to 30% of investment costs to be claimed as tax deductions in the first four years.

Question 4

How does the special depreciation allowance work for new buildings?

Accepted Answer

The special depreciation allowance according to §7b Income Tax Act (EStG) allows an additional annual depreciation of 5% over four years in addition to the regular depreciation allowance – ideal for tax optimization.

Question 5

What is declining-balance depreciation and how can I benefit from it?

Accepted Answer

With declining-balance depreciation, a higher amount is written off in the first year, which decreases annually. This leads to faster tax relief in the initial years. Declining-balance depreciation is possible for newly constructed properties purchased for rental purposes.

Question 6

What is the minimum investment amount required?

Accepted Answer

An investment is possible with as little as €20,000 of equity capital – ideal for small investors.

Question 7

Is there a rental guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the developer guarantees rental payments for 10 years – even in the event of vacancy. A free rental service is also included. This provides security and allows for an investment without significant effort.

Question 8

Is the property eligible for KfW funding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sleepwell Living meets the KfW-40 standard and is QNG-certified – this means that low-interest promotional loans of up to 150,000 euros are possible.

Question 9

What return can I expect?

Accepted Answer

The combination of rental guarantee, tax depreciation and value appreciation results in an attractive return – depending individually on financing and tax rate.

Question 10

Is the project also interesting for people with average incomes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's not just interesting for high-income earners, but also for those with middle incomes. Sleepwell Living offers a way to optimize taxes and build wealth, and generate positive cash flow.

Question 11

How sustainable is the building concept?

Accepted Answer

Sleepwell Living relies on low-emission materials, CO₂-neutral energy supply and a healthy indoor climate – ideal for long-term rental availability and value retention.

Question 12

What advantages does the KfW funding program offer for Sleepwell Living?

Accepted Answer

The KfW program "Climate-Friendly New Construction" (Nos. 297/298) offers subsidized loans of up to €150,000 per residential unit for QNG-certified new buildings. It significantly reduces financing costs and improves the return on equity.

Question 13

What is KfW-40-QNG?

Accepted Answer

A building built to KfW-40-QNG standards meets the highest requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability. It requires only 40% of the primary energy demand of a reference building and receives the "Sustainable Building Quality Seal" – a prerequisite for subsidized loans and special tax depreciation allowances.

Question 14

What tax deductions are possible with KfW-40-QNG?

Accepted Answer

Investors can depreciate approximately 30% of the building's value in the first four years – by combining special depreciation (§ 7b EStG) and declining-balance depreciation (§ 7 para. 5a EStG), attractive tax advantages can be achieved.

Question 15

When is a tax-free real estate sale possible?

Accepted Answer

If the property is held for at least 10 years, the capital gain is tax-free (§ 23 EStG). This applies to rented properties held as private assets. Compared to investments in stocks or ETFs, this allows for attractive returns on equity.

Question 16

What is the potential return on equity after taxes?

Accepted Answer

Depending on financing, rental income, and tax rate, equity returns of up to 15% p.a. after taxes are realistic. The combination of subsidized loans, depreciation, and rental guarantees increases profitability.

Question 17

What is the leverage effect in real estate?

Accepted Answer

Debt financing can increase the return on equity if the total return on the property exceeds the loan interest rate. Sleepwell Living specifically leverages this effect for small investors.
