The return on this student house for sale
Just like when you buy an investment property directly yourself, with BRXS you earn in two ways: 1) Rental income distributed among all investors proportional to their investment in the room rental property 2) Value appreciation over the longer term.
Expected rental return
Very simple: The gross rent we receive from the tenants is fixed at €3,900 per month. Then we expect some costs such as maintenance, insurance, VVE contributions, management fees, and city taxes. You can find the exact estimate in the following table:
This results in an estimated monthly net rent of €3,243 or an annual return of approximately 5.4%. So, if you invest €1,000 in this student house, you can expect a rental income of €54 for the first year, deposited into your account every three months. More rental details about the property.
Historical value development in Delft
You can estimate the rental return relatively well, but what the housing market will do in the next 10 years is something nobody knows exactly.
Let’s look at the historical housing market in Delft: Between 1995 and 2022, house prices in Delft increased by an average of 5.6% per year over the entire period, including a period of value declines in 2008-2013.

If you look at the long term, the housing market has shown a strong return and is also more stable than the stock market, yet prices do not rise equally strongly every year, and there are also years with price declines. You can read more about the current housing market and forecasts here and it’s also important to emphasize that past results offer no guarantee for the future.
The total investment in this room rental property
Where does the investors’ money go? When purchasing the property, there’s more involved than just the purchase price. Taxes must be paid (i.e., transfer tax), notary fees, the BRXS fee, and a cash reserve set aside for the room rental property.
Investment in the student house for sale
- Purchase price: The price at which the room rental property for sale was purchased.
- Renovations: The cost of all repairs needed to prepare the investment property for rental. In this case, no repairs are needed because the student house was just renovated for over €80,000 and is therefore in very good condition.
- Transfer costs: All costs associated with purchasing a property, such as transfer tax (8% for investment properties) and notary fees.
- BRXS fee: A one-time fee for BRXS covering all efforts involved in acquiring the investment property, such as the search, investigation, purchase, and preparation of the property.
- Cash reserves: These serve as a buffer for potential unexpected events such as emergency repairs or vacancies. We hope, of course, that we won’t need these reserves, but it’s better to be prepared for everything, allowing the investment to withstand setbacks. When a property is eventually sold again, the cash reserves, along with the net proceeds from the sale, are distributed among all investors.
Virtual tour of the room rental property
The room rental property is already fully rented and occupied, making it impossible to schedule viewings for everyone interested in investing. However, we do our best to provide a complete picture with the descriptions, photos, and floor plan below.
The student house for sale
The student residence consists of three floors totaling 124 m² GFA (according to the NEN-2580 measurement) and features six rented rooms, a shared living room, new kitchen, two bathrooms, two toilets, and a balcony. The property was fully renovated in 2022 for over €80,000 and equipped with new furniture and appliances: including new (insulation and PVC) floors installed, interior and exterior painting done, and investments made in a new kitchen and bathroom. Furthermore, the room rental property for sale has a permit and meets the necessary noise requirements and fire safety standards.
For this student residence, we collaborate via a multi-year agreement with a local company that partners with TU Delft, among others, for housing international students. TU Delft reserves this student residence each year for the arrival of new international students, guaranteeing the occupancy rate for the coming years. Furthermore, this company has partnerships with institutions including The Hague University of Applied Sciences, Leiden University (with a faculty in The Hague), Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam School of Management, Rotterdam University College, Codarts, and Webster University. These educational institutions refer international students to the partner’s platform where they can form groups to rent a student house. This leads to a large annual influx of new young internationals. This is also why this student house has managed to achieve a 100% occupancy rate over the past 7 years. The partner has completed approximately 1,500 rental transactions to date. The six rooms and common areas are rented for a fixed term to international students. The current annual rental income is €46,800.
Location and surroundings
The room rental property for sale is located in the Wippolder district in Delft, close to various faculties of the Delft University of Technology, which are within walking distance. The property is also near the city center, hospitality and shopping facilities, and supermarkets, all within walking distance. Furthermore, Delft station can be reached in about 5 minutes by bike. This location makes it very attractive for (international) students / young professionals to live here.

Step 2: Browse through the investments on our platform View the different investment properties and discover which ones you want to invest in.

There is also a calculator to estimate your expected return based on your investment amount, expected period, and your assumptions about value appreciation.
Step 4: Invest in what you want Once you’ve made a choice, you can easily make an investment by clicking “invest now”. Then you choose the number of BRXS notes, where one BRXS note corresponds to an investment of 100 euros in the property.
- You can invest starting from 100 euros, but you cannot invest more than 10,000 euros per property.
- You can make your payment using iDeal or credit card.
Step 5: Track your investments directly in your portfolio and receive payments every quarter Once invested, you can track all your investments transparently in your portfolio and earn in two ways: rental income payments (paid out quarterly) and potential long-term value appreciation.

Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions:
What return can you expect?
The return on your investment consists of net rental income (paid quarterly) and potential long-term value appreciation. On each property page, you’ll find all financial info and a tool to get a better estimate of your expected return. Read more.
What do you actually buy when you purchase a BRXS note?
When you buy a BRXS note, you purchase a bond that gives you the right to a quarterly interest payment and the repayment of your investment amount after costs. This payment is variable and depends on the proceeds of the property to which the BRXS note relates and consists of:
- Net rental income: Total rental income minus all costs such as maintenance, municipal taxes, insurance, and mortgage interest payments.
- Value appreciation: You receive your share of the potential capital gain made when the property is sold.
When and how can I sell my BRXS notes?
We created BRXS for investors looking to invest in real estate long-term (at least several years) for optimal returns. BRXS plans to hold each room rental property for about 10 years and will sell it when financially opportune for investors. If necessary, there are options available if you wish to sell earlier. Read more.
How does BRXS make money?
Opening and maintaining a BRXS account is free. BRXS earns money through a fee included in the investment amount, a property management fee automatically deducted from gross rental proceeds, and transaction fees on the purchase/sale of BRXS notes. All displayed estimated returns are net after all BRXS fees. Read more.
What if BRXS goes bankrupt or can no longer operate?
When you invest in a room rental property, you invest not in BRXS but in an entity (BV) that owns the specific property. So, if BRXS can no longer manage the student residence, it will be sold, and the proceeds will be distributed among all investors in that property after mortgage repayment. Read more.
What risks are involved?
As with all investments, real estate also involves risks you should consider, such as vacancy, non-paying tenants, maintenance issues, and housing market fluctuations. Read more
Who owns the student residence?
Each investment property is fully owned by a specific subsidiary of BRXS BV (e.g., BRXS Lucellestraat BV). Therefore, you are not legally the owner of or liable for the property concerning the BRXS notes you purchase. Read more
