It's hard to manage from far, make sure you have someone who can manage everything.

We bought an apt in Yerushalayim as an investment. It doesn't cover itself. There is an abundance of new apartments so rent is lower than we expected. Tenant pays the taxes. Consult a lawyer in Israel for up to date advice. Hatzlocha.

Hmmm thanks will try to find out more who's a good lawyer?
I was thinking eventually retire in the apartment but if it doesn't completely pay for itself might be more of a hassle managing from abroad etc...

Investing in Israeli homes is a huge business.
But you have to pick your neighborhood well.

I do believe there are no taxes involved in Israel if you are not earning more than 5000 nis a month from the apartment. After that, you pay some sort of taxes (so if you are renting it out for 8000 nis, then you will be paying taxes on 3000).
You need to do a lot of research - first, you need to compare rental and purchase prices. There are places in Israel where the purchase price is high but rentals are relatively low, and vice versa. Also, you need to analyze where you think value of homes will go up.
It is difficult looking after an apartment long distance. If you live abroad, you will likely need to hire a property company.

Tenants pay city taxes (arnona), but I think op was referring to taxes on money earned. That's for the landlord.

You would have to pay purchase tax which I think may be a different rate if you're not a citizen. You definitely need a good property lawyer.
You may also have to pay tax on the rental income.
It's a big hassle to manage from abroad and you would have to pay a manager.

If you buy over the green line you don't need to pay purchase tax. In any case speak to a good Lawyer.
We used mickey Levine, he's excellent and is American

Are you in Israel? Taxation is different if you’re investing from abroad.

Yes as an investment I'm assuming there's more taxes involved- oh I wish we could make aliyah!

Any home you own after the first, has heavier taxes when you sell.
Some get around this by buying the next house under another TZ besides your own and your husband's, for example a child 18 or over or a parent or in-law who is an Israeli citizen and does not yet own a home.
