A Zinshaus building with many high-quality small studio apartments in a central location, rented – mostly indefinitely – to business people, weekend commuters or students.
Apartments in such building are often furnished and rented out monthly to business people short-term. As a rule of thumb, the decor is upscale and the rent quite attractive, and often come with services (e.g., shops or a concierge).

Some real estate in university towns are particularly suitable for students and/or sharing communities. With the right, needs-based equipment, excellent returns are possible.
Increased life expectancy is leading to a growing number of senior citizens, an occasionally solvent target group that likes making use of needs-based services (e.g., cleaning/shopping/medical services).
These properties belong to the group known as managed real estate, since they must be constantly cared for and administered. Retirement homes and assisted living are well-known representatives of this asset class.
