1. Parking lots and boxes: performance without surprises
Parking lots and closed boxes are among the most efficient investments. With an average purchase price between 15,000 and 30,000 eurosthey can generate monthly rents from 80 to 200 euros. The returns vary between 6% and 10%with minimal costs and very simple management, which explains their success in the densest urban areas.
2. Cellars: small areas, big yield
Still little considered, cellars are attractive for their profitability. In Paris or in large metropolises, they are negotiated between 3,000 and 12,000 eurosfor rents ranging from 100 to 150 euros per month. Gross profitability frequently exceeds 8%with few charges and limited rental vacancy. A discreet but effective investment, provided you respect the rules of co-ownership.
3. Co-location: optimize each square meter
Co-living allows you to maximize revenue by renting each room separately. Gross returns reach 6% to 9%or even more in certain student towns. This model involves more active management and some development work, but responds to very strong rental demand.
4. Studios and small apartments: the safe haven
Studios and one-bedroom apartments intended for students and young professionals retain their appeal, particularly in university areas and large metropolises structured around several business districts. Their gross profitability is generally between 4% and 6%. If the entry ticket is higher than for car parks or cellars, these goods benefit from constant demand despite a rental turnover more frequent.
5. Student residences: safety above all
These residences offer more moderate returns, around from 4% to 6%but seduce by rent stability.
Commercial leases, for their part, limit the risk of rental vacancy, at the cost of dependence on the operator.
Finally, the last option for the most seasoned profiles: thermal strainers, which constitute an investment opportunity. Their significant discount and the potential for valuation after work make them an interesting lever for diversifying a real estate portfolio.
