★★★★★

Logic-based advice. Not a sales pitch.

After years of aggressive hard-selling elsewhere, Moderna was different. As an engineer I fact-checked every number — 100% accurate. They cut my inefficient contracts and saved me tax without ever pressuring me to sign. WhatsApp line answered on weekends.

★★★★★

They educated me until I was 100% confident.

The German financial system felt like a black box. Moderna's patience changed that — ten to twelve sessions until every clause was clear. I see constant growth in my dashboard now. Their 360° Sorglos-Paket means I do nothing after signing.

★★★★★

Best allocation in my entire portfolio.

I have a finance background and German bureaucracy still held me back. Moderna handled everything end-to-end: off-market sourcing, 110% bank financing, notary translation in real time. Result: a €375,000 property with €0 down and nearly €9,000 in annual tax refunds.

You do not sign alone.
We stay at the table.

From draft contract review to the appointment itself, Moderna coordinates the notary, explains the Kaufvertrag in English, and keeps the bank, seller, and property manager aligned until signing is complete.

Three structural costs
of earning and buying in Germany.

Not a sales pitch. A neutral description of the system you're inside.

01 ~42 / 100 €

The income tax floor

From roughly €68,000 of taxable income upward, your marginal rate is 42%. Add Soli and church tax and the effective slice often crosses 45%. You work for the Finanzamt until May.

03 ~90 hr / deal

The compliance overhead

One property transaction in Germany involves a notary, a tax advisor, a bank, a building manager, and three local authorities. Reading those documents in your second language is a part-time job for two months.

The path isn't earning more or saving harder. It's redirecting the tax you already pay into a property that pays itself back. Bank-verified, fully managed, 100% in English.

From first call to signed deed
in eight weeks.

Three mechanisms that do the heavy lifting. All in English, all on your schedule.

Tax Leverage

Your tax bill becomes the down payment.

German law lets you deduct mortgage interest and building depreciation (AfA) against your taxable income. The Finanzamt effectively co-funds your investment, while tenant rent covers most of the mortgage. With strong expat creditworthiness, we secure 100% bank financing.

English Full Service

Everything in English. Nothing on your calendar.

Notary coordination, bank negotiations, property management setup, and tenant onboarding all run through our team. You sign at the notary appointment, with our staff translating in real time. The 360° Sorglos-Paket handles the rest.

Off-Market Access

Off-market units, weeks before the public listings.

We're independent advisors with direct relationships at Bavaria's top developers. Roughly 70% of high-quality units sell before reaching ImmoScout. Every deal we surface passes a strict math-based underwriting; if the numbers don't work, we say walk away.

How the math actually works.
Three levers, one outcome.

The Moderna underwriting model in a single page. Save it, screenshot it, send it to your Steuerberater.

L1 Bank leverage

100% bank financing on a strong expat income profile.

Bank brings
€700,000
Effective leverage

Closing costs (~5.5 to 7%) covered from cash if you have it, financed if you don't.

L3 Tenant leverage

Rental income covers most of the mortgage. You sleep through it.

Monthly mortgage
€3,371
Tenant pays
€3,100 / mo.
Net out of pocket
€64 / mo.

In high-demand A-locations (Munich Speckgürtel, central Nürnberg), vacancy approaches zero.

L1 bank + L2 tax + L3 tenant = a property that pays for itself

Disclaimer: these figures are indicative. The final numbers when buying a property can differ because bank terms, broker fees, notary costs, rent, maintenance, AfA eligibility, and your tax situation may change, but they should be close when the same assumptions apply.

We Sit On Your Side Of The Table.
Not the bank's. Not the developer's. Yours.

Independent by Design

We're not owned by a bank, developer, or fund. If a deal isn't right for you, we'll be the first to tell you to walk away.

Radical Transparency

No hidden commissions. No fine print. Every Euro is explained — live on the call, then again in writing.

We watched commission-driven agencies push overpriced inventory onto expats to hit monthly quotas — and we refused to play that game. Moderna exists to flip the model: we sit beside our clients, not across from them, for the entire decade it takes to build a portfolio that compounds.

"Honesty pays the best interest."

Still Have
Questions?

Honest answers about requirements, risks, and costs.

Individuals or households with net monthly income from €2,500 can usually start a buying and financing check. Banks also review residency status, employment contract, SCHUFA, savings, and whether the specific property math works.

110% financing (bank covers purchase price + closing costs) is possible with strong credit. The more common route is 100% financing — bank covers the purchase price, you cover closing costs (~5.5–7%). We recommend this as the safest path.

Yes. Most local banks decline temporary visas, but we partner with specialized lenders who understand the expat situation. Stable income + a valid permit is usually sufficient.

Our 360° Sorglos-Paket handles everything — tenant sourcing, rent collection, maintenance. You own the asset, we handle the rest. Zero landlord headaches.

We only acquire in high-demand A-locations (Munich metro / Speckgürtel) where vacancies are near zero. We also offer Mietausfallversicherung — rental insurance that guarantees your income even during vacancies.

Yes. Consultation and property sourcing are 100% free for the buyer. In Germany, the seller (developer or owner) pays the agent's commission. Standard practice — no hidden fees.

You deduct mortgage interest, management fees, and building depreciation (AfA) from your taxable income. This creates a paper loss that reduces your income tax — and the Finanzamt refunds you money at year-end, which you use to repay the loan.
