Furnished studio, long-let one-bed, short-stay pied-à-terre. The 1st is not the highest gross yield in Paris. It is the value in 20 years.
The 1st arrondissement is not the highest-yielding district in Paris. The 19th, 18th or 20th deliver yields above 5%. The 1st runs between 3.2 and 4.2% gross. So why invest here?
Three reasons: occupancy above 95% (demand is structural, near-zero vacancy), steady capital appreciation (+30 to +60% over 20 years depending on the cycle), and ultra-qualified rental demand (international executives on assignment, directors, top-school students). It is a capital investment more than a cash-flow one.
METROREALTY prices the real net yield before purchase (charges, property tax, vacancy, LMNP or unfurnished tax), identifies properties with strong rental potential, and refers to vetted management partners. Our agency is at 18 rue Molière, in the heart of the 1st.
Ticket €220-300k. Rent €1,300-1,500/month furnished. Gross yield 3.8-4.2%. Target: young international executives, short mobility. Optimal LMNP regime.
Ticket €450-600k. Rent €1,900-2,400/month furnished. Gross yield 3.5-3.9%. Target: 2-3 year expat couples, directors in transition. Highly liquid at resale.
Short-term lets (subject to Paris restrictions in tight-housing zone: max 120 nights/year for principal residence, authorisation required for secondary). Variable yield but personal/letting trade-off possible.
1 to 10 month non-renewable lease, tenant on training, internship, mission, transfer. No deposit. Free rent (outside rent control). Target: top-school students, short-stay expats.
3-year renewable lease, stable tenant. Lower rent (-15 to -20% vs furnished) but near-zero vacancy. Property tax regime (micro-foncier 30% allowance or actual). Target: Parisian families.
Large apartment (4-5 rooms) split into furnished bedrooms with premium shared spaces. Target: young international executives. Yield 4.5-5.5%. Heavier management but growing market.
The LMNP actual regime is statistically the most advantageous in the 1st for studios and one-beds: depreciation of the property (25-30 years) + furniture (5-7 years) + deduction of loan interest and charges typically wipes out the taxable rent for the first 10 years. Unfurnished lets remain relevant if you already have a foncier deficit or rental income to absorb. METROREALTY advises by tax bracket and overall strategy.
