Decided to make a rental investment to ensure a retirement income supplement, you wonder about the city where to buy the two or three rooms that you will rent to young workers. Paris, where to find a rental is a fighter’s journey, spontaneously comes to mind. Except that with an average price per square meter of 9,500 euros, you will have to pay no less than 285,000 euros to acquire a small T2 of 30 square meters! And then, finding accommodation for rent in the capital is so complicated and expensive that “”More and more Parisian tenants choose to settle in regional metropolises less than two hours by train from Paris, where they keep their jobs ” And their Parisian salary, indicates the real estate investment platform Maslow.immo.

This trend has accentuated with the development of telework after the health crisis. “Today, 20% of assets in France teleworked, two days a week for 39% of them and three days for 23%”details at Capital Pierre-Emmanuel Jus, deputy director of Maslow.immo.

Station at the purchase price and the management of rents

You will understand, it is in regions, less than two hours by train from Paristhat you should invest in an apartment for rent. But beware, cities should be targeted with more than 30,000 inhabitants, located in tense areas A, A bis and B1, where the demand for housing is much higher than the offer, and presenting a maximum rental voltage ratio of 5 out of 5, recommends Pierre-Emmanuel Jus. Calculated by the Locservice platform, this ratio reports the number of candidates for rent for the supply of goods to rent in a given geographical area. Lille, Rennes, Nantes, Strasbourg and Lyon meet all of these criteria.

Only downside, “”The purchase price in these cities can represent a barrier at the entrance For some investors “admits Maslow.immo. The price per square meter oscillates between 3,200 euros and 4,407 euros in these metropolises. Some of which, like Lille and Lyon, also experiment with the supervision of rents, quite unacceptable for a rental investor. An experiment to which Nantes recently brought a candidate.

As Le Mans : Do you know that the prefecture of Sarthe is just 55 minutes from Paris in TGV and that the square meter is worth less than 2,000 euros there? The prices of ancient apartments are also located under this symbolic threshold in Douai (Nord-Pas-de-Calais), Beauvais (Oise) and Evreux (Eure).

HAS Orléans, Reims, Laval, Lens and Arrasall linked to Paris by the TGV, except for the first, the price of real estate is less than 3,000 euros per square meter. This is why all these cities offer “A yield of 6% to 7% For bare rental, and even more furnished, compared to 4% to 5% for Lille, Rennes, Nantes, Strasbourg or Lyon ”Pierre-Emmanuel Jus figure.
