A property hunter for your rental investment

Investing in Paris is not just about price per sqm: it is balancing gross yield, taxation (LMNP, deficit, SCI), rental risk, and future capital gain. Since 2011, our hunters target the districts and properties offering the best yield-to-risk ratio. 45 days, 6% negotiation, properties rented within 30 days.

Your project

Your rental investment search

A good rental investment in Paris rarely sits in mainstream listings. It requires knowing micro-markets (a studio on a courtyard rue Beaubourg does not yield the same as one rue Réaumur), choosing between furnished and unfurnished, and anticipating taxation. Your hunter runs these variables with you before every offer.

Yielding targets identified

We cross purchase price, market rents, vacancy, condominium charges, property tax, applicable tax regime. You get a realistic net yield on every serious lead, not a theoretical gross.

Off-market and opportunities

Our network of agents and managers flags rental sales in advance (retirement, succession, wealth arbitrage). Often without listing, often with significant negotiation room.

Taxation and structure

LMNP, deficit foncier, SCI under IS or IR: we work with partner accountants and notaries to validate the structure suited to your wealth before the offer, not after.

Our method

How your investment unfolds

A method proven on several hundred rental investment missions since 2011.

  1. 01

    Wealth study

    Week 1

    At the first meeting, we frame your objective: complementary income, tax shelter, wealth building, transmission. We analyze your current taxation (TMI, IFI) to pick the right legal vehicle and tax regime.

  2. 02

    Yield-risk targeting

    Week 1

    Selection of districts and property types aligned with your objective: yielding studio (Paris North-East, Paris 11th), high capital-gain potential (Paris 16th, 17th), divisible flat, whole building if budget allows. We set a target net yield range.

  3. 03

    Intensive sourcing

    Weeks 2 to 6

    Activation of every channel, including off-market and private sales. For rental investment we screen far more properties than for a primary residence (often 60 to 80 analyzed) to find the right price-to-rent ratio.

  4. 04

    Audit and offer

    Case-by-case

    Condominium audit (upcoming works votes, reserve fund), rental audit (free or capped rent, demand, average vacancy), technical audit. Negotiated offer factoring the target rental exit.

  5. 05

    Letting

    After signing

    Upon request, we refer you to a partner manager for letting and management. On our investment missions, the property is usually rented within 30 days of receiving the keys.

Investor testimonials

We wanted a yielding studio for our student daughter then to flip into LMNP. Our hunter found a 22 sqm on a courtyard, rue de Belleville, at €280,000. Rent €1,050, net yield 4.2% after charges and tax. Far better than the new-build properties pushed at €380,000.

My hunter rejected two properties I liked. Three months later I understood why: condominium with major renovation voted. Thanks for filtering.

Frequently asked

Your questions on rental investment

What yield to target on a Paris rental investment?

In Paris intra-muros, realistic net yield ranges from 3.5% to 5% depending on district, property type, and tax regime. Gross yields advertised at 6 or 7% on mainstream listings rarely hold once charges, taxes, and vacancy are deducted. We always compute net.

Furnished (LMNP) or unfurnished: which regime?

It depends on your tax bracket, objective, and horizon. LMNP under real regime allows amortizing the property and almost erasing tax on rents for 10 to 15 years, making it very powerful for high brackets. Unfurnished rental with deficit foncier suits properties needing heavy works. We study both scenarios at the first meeting.

Buy in own name or via SCI?

Own name remains simplest for one or two properties and allows LMNP. SCI under IS becomes relevant beyond 3 or 4 properties, or to prepare transmission. SCI under IR offers little interest for furnished rental. We work with partner notaries and accountants to guide you before the offer, not after.

Does Paris rent control hurt investment?

Rent control reduces market rents by 5 to 15% depending on zones. Sourcing becomes more demanding: buy at a price factoring this cap, or target properties outside the scope (registered short-term lettings, mobility leases, properties over 80 sqm rarely affected). We always compute yield with controlled rent, not hoped rent.

Can you manage the letting after purchase?

Our trade is buying. For letting and management, we work with two or three trusted partner managers we recommend based on property profile (student furnished, long-term lease, shared rental). You remain free to self-manage.

Which districts for which investment profile?

Maximum yield: Paris 18, 19, 20, east parts of 11 and 12. Yield-capital gain balance: Paris 9, 10, 11, 17. Wealth preservation and long-term capital gain: Paris 6, 7, 8, 16. We calibrate per your goal at the first meeting.
