Investir dans l’immobilier locatif vous permet de générer des revenus passifs sous forme de loyers. En louant votre bien à un locataire, vous percevrez une rente mensuelle, à la hauteur du prix du loyer que vous aurez fixé.
Initially, this passive income will be used to pay off the mortgage loan taken out to buy the property. Only when the loan is repaid, you will be able to enjoy the rent in a different way. For example, by spending it on interest or by reinvesting it in your property.
To generate passive income, you can invest in real estate via buyer sites such as Coup de Coeur Immo.

For example, the Pinel scheme for a new rental property investment over a 12-year period offers a tax reduction of 17.5% of the cost of the property.
So, for 12 years of renting an investment at 100 000€, you will benefit from 17 500€ of tax exemption or 1458€/year for 12 years.
Also, you have the possibility of taking advantage of this reduction over 6 years for 10.5% of the purchase price of the property, or over 9 years for 15% of the purchase price of the property.
However, certain conditions must be met in order to take advantage of these benefits. For more information, consult the documentation related to real estate investment published by the State.
