Lowering costs: PPS Cuts Contractor Costs in Half

PPS & Partner is also so successful because it operates under very intensive cost management. The following table provides an overview of why our cost structure is so much more cost-effective than that of a traditional contractor who attempts to sell a property as individual apartments.
 
Contractor PPS & Partner

Collision of interests between the contractor and the party buying the apartment
• Contractor wants high proceeds at minimum effort

• Buyer wants a low price with the best features

Alignment of interests between the founders and the investors
• Founders compensated with participation in the property (10%)
• Founders have a capital share
   
Maximizing the hidden proceeds Cost and payment transparency
   
High "system costs":
Notary, partitioning the apartment, bank guaranties, prospectus, sales, sales risk
Low "system costs":
An entire property is purchased, developed, and maintained
   
Higher purchasing costs
• Due to concentrating on properties with "historical landmark depreciation"
• High costs for cosmetic measures that rapidly decline
• Redevelopment prices under time pressure and "prospectus pressure"
Best purchasing terms for the structure of older buildings
• Not restricted to properties with "historical landmark depreciation"
• Low expenses for cosmetic features
• Price advantage due to cooperating with companies over many years
   
Detrimental tax conditions
such as offset prohibition on losses (Sec. 2b of the German Income Tax Act) for funds open to the general publicsuch as offset prohibition on losses (Sec. 2b of the German Income Tax Act) for funds open to the general public
No restriction on offsetting losses
because of individual redevelopment concepts for each acquisition
