Capitalisation rate (Liegenschaftszins)
The rate at which future rental income is discounted to today's value.
The higher the rate, the lower the income value turns out. The capitalisation rate depends on location and use, not on the individual property alone. It is not a bank fee, it is a factor used to calculate the income value.
