Property Dossier — Outreach Plan

Where expat/international buyers in Berlin & Paris actually hang out, plus copy-paste drafts. Nothing here has been posted. All sending is a Joshua morning action.

Rule of thumb for all communities: be the helpful expert first, the vendor second. Lead with the free sample dossier — it does the selling. Check each group’s self-promo rules before posting; where promo is banned, answer property questions and keep the link in your profile.

1. Where the buyers are

Berlin — English-speaking expats

Paris — English-speaking expats

Both cities — horizontal

• r/eupersonalfinance — recurring “buying property abroad” threads.
• Nomad/finance Slacks & Discords (Nomad List, Expatriates-type servers) — property channels.
• Twitter/X + LinkedIn — build-in-public thread about productizing the Paris dossier; founders/tech expats are disproportionately our buyers.

2. Buyer’s-agent & relocation partnerships

The best channel long-term: people already paid by our buyer, who look smarter handing their client an independent dossier.

Timing: Day 1-2, not week 2. Partnerships are the channel most likely to produce a buyer who is transacting this month — a buyer’s agent’s client is by definition mid-purchase. FB groups take days of membership approval and Message Paris needs a paid join; partnership emails need nothing but the deployed sample. Send 3-5 the same day the pages go live.

Targets (research contact pages in the morning; do not email tonight): - First two: Adrian Leeds Group (Paris — the anglophone-buyer institution) and Guthmann Estate (Berlin — warm opener: our dossiers cite their market reports; say so in sentence one). - Paris: Paris Property Group, Your French Home, French Property Finders, 56Paris. - Berlin: First Citiz Berlin, Berlin International Real Estate agents serving expats, Immoport, relocation firms (Expath, Localyze-adjacent HR relocation providers).

The pitch (see draft 5): white-label or referral. €50 referral per paid dossier, or they buy at €199 trade price and mark up/gift it. Positioning: we are not competing for your commission — we make your hesitant international client confident enough to transact.

3. Copy-paste outreach drafts

Replace [SAMPLE-LINK] with the live sample URL and [SITE-LINK] with the landing page URL after deploy. Every link below already carries its ?source= slug — copy the drafts as-is and tracking works. Swap the slug per venue where noted (e.g. ?source=toytown → ?source=reddit-berlin).

Draft 1 — EN forum/Reddit post (value-first, Toytown / r/berlin / r/paris)

Title: I do investment due diligence for a living — here’s the exact dossier I built before a friend’s €900k Paris apartment offer (free to read)

I’m an American impact-fund GP based in Berlin. When a friend asked me to sanity-check a Paris apartment he wanted to buy, I did what I’d do for a fund deal: pulled real closed-sale comps, modeled net rental yield under French rent rules, dug through the building’s risk factors, and gave him a target offer price with the reasoning attached.

I’ve anonymized the whole thing and put it online — even if you never pay anyone for anything, it’s a useful checklist of what to ask before you sign: [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=toytown (swap the slug per venue: ?source=reddit-berlin on r/berlin, ?source=reddit-paris on r/paris, ?source=reddit-germany on r/germany)

I’ve now productized it (€299, 48h, Berlin & Paris) because expat buyers keep asking. But the sample is free and the follow-up-questions list alone will save you real money. Happy to answer property-DD questions in the comments.

Draft 1b — LinkedIn post (Day 1, Joshua’s own audience — post this first)

Use link [SITE-LINK]?source=linkedin (the landing page forwards ?source into the intake form).

I do due diligence on investment deals for a living. This spring a private client asked me to apply the same discipline to something more personal: a €900k+ apartment in the 7th arrondissement he was about to make an offer on.

So I did what I’d do for a fund deal — pulled actual closed-sale comps from DVF, modeled net rental yield under French rent rules, stress-tested the building’s risk factors (DPE trap, suspiciously low charges, a developer-flip seller), and handed him a target offer price with the reasoning attached.

He got the apartment. Below asking.

I’ve anonymized the full dossier and published it — free to read, no email wall: [SITE-LINK]?source=linkedin

And because international buyers in Berlin and Paris keep asking me for exactly this, I’ve productized it: €299, delivered in 48 hours, for the specific apartment you’re looking at. Comps, true price/m², yield, red flags, negotiation strategy. Independent — I’m not an agent and take no commission from anyone.

If you (or someone on your team relocating to Berlin or Paris) are about to make a six-figure decision in a market you can’t fully read: the sample shows exactly what you’d get.

Draft 1c — X/Twitter build-in-public opener (Day 1)

I turned a favor into a product. A friend was buying a €900k Paris apartment; I ran fund-grade due diligence on it — real closed comps, net yield under French rent rules, red flags, target offer price. He closed below asking. Now it’s a €299/48h service for expat buyers in Berlin & Paris, and the original dossier is free to read: [SITE-LINK]?source=x 🧵

Draft 2 — EN Facebook group post (shorter, softer)

Buying a flat in Berlin or Paris as an expat and not 100% sure the price is fair? I’m a Berlin-based American investor (fund GP by day). I recently did full investment due diligence on a €900k Paris apartment for a private client — comps, net yield, red flags, what to offer. The anonymized report is free to read here: [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=fb. If you want the same done for the apartment you’re looking at: €299, delivered in 48 hours. Questions welcome below — happy to share what I’d check first for free.

Draft 3 — DE one-liner (Berlin groups / comments)

Ich erstelle unabhängige Investment-Dossiers für Wohnungskäufer (Vergleichspreise, echte €/m²-Analyse, Mietrendite, Risiken, Verhandlungsstrategie) — 48 Stunden, 299 €. Kostenloses Beispiel-Dossier hier: [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=de

Draft 4 — FR one-liner (Paris groups / comments)

Je réalise des dossiers d’investissement indépendants pour les acheteurs d’appartements (comparables réels, prix/m², rendement locatif net, risques, stratégie de négociation) — livré en 48 h, 299 €. Exemple complet et gratuit ici : [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=fr

Draft 5 — Buyer’s-agent / relocation partnership email (EN)

Subject: An independent dossier that gets your hesitant international buyers to yes

Hi [Name],

I’m Joshua Haynes — American, Berlin-based, general partner of an impact fund. Side practice: I produce independent investment dossiers for international buyers in Paris and Berlin — closed-sale comps, net-yield modeling under local rent rules, building red flags, and a concrete negotiation strategy, delivered in 48 hours. Here’s a real (anonymized) one for a €900k+ 7th-arrondissement apartment: [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=partner-[firm] (replace [firm] with a short slug per recipient, e.g. partner-firstcitiz, partner-56paris)

Why I’m writing to you: international clients stall because they can’t independently verify that a deal is fair. An independent third-party dossier — one that isn’t earning a commission — is often what moves them from “nervous” to “offer.” I’d like to offer your clients that missing piece:

• Referral: €50 per paid dossier (client pays €299), or
• Trade price: you buy at €199 and gift/mark up as part of your service.

We never contact your client with anything except the dossier, and we’re structurally unable to compete with you — we don’t sell property, we sell certainty.

Worth a 15-minute call? — Joshua

Draft 5a — Guthmann Estate (Berlin) — SEND-READY, Day 1

To: Guthmann Estate (contact page: guthmann.estate — research the right inbox in the morning) Subject: Your Ortsteil reports are cited in our dossiers — a partnership that costs you nothing

Hi [Name / Guthmann team],

Your Ortsteil market reports are literally cited in our dossiers — here’s a real one so you can see how: [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=partner-guthmann

I’m Joshua Haynes — American, Berlin-based, general partner of an impact fund. Side practice: independent investment dossiers for international buyers in Berlin and Paris. Closed-sale comps (Gutachterausschuss + your Ortsteil data), net-yield modeling under Mietspiegel/Milieuschutz reality, building red flags, and a concrete negotiation strategy — delivered in 48 hours, €299.

Why you: your international leads stall for exactly one reason — they can’t independently verify that a Berlin deal is fair. An independent third-party dossier (we take no commission, sell no property) moves them from “nervous” to “offer,” and it quotes your research while doing it.

• Referral: €50 per paid dossier (client pays €299), or
• Trade price: you buy at €199 and gift/mark up as part of your service.

We never contact your client with anything except the dossier. Worth 15 minutes? — Joshua

Draft 5b — Adrian Leeds Group (Paris) — SEND-READY, Day 1

To: Adrian Leeds Group (adrianleeds.com contact — research the right inbox in the morning) Subject: An independent dossier for your anglophone buyers — here’s one for a 7th-arr. apartment

Hi Adrian [/ team],

You’ve spent decades getting anglophones safely into Paris apartments. Here’s something your clients keep needing and nobody sells them: an independent, commission-free investment dossier on the exact apartment they’re about to offer on. A real one — €935k, 7th arrondissement, top-floor — anonymized and free to read: [SAMPLE-LINK]?source=partner-leeds

I’m Joshua Haynes — American, Berlin-based, general partner of an impact fund. I do this for international buyers in Paris and Berlin: real DVF closed-sale comps, net yield under encadrement des loyers, LMNP/bail civil structure notes (general information, with the exact questions for their fiscaliste), red flags, and a target offer price with the reasoning attached. 48 hours, €299.

Your buyers are the most price-anxious in Paris — an independent second opinion that isn’t earning anything from the transaction is often the last push from “nervous” to “offer.”

• Referral: €50 per paid dossier (client pays €299), or
• Trade price: you buy at €199 and gift/mark up as part of your service.

We never contact your client with anything except the dossier, and we don’t sell property — we sell certainty. Worth a 15-minute call? — Joshua

4. Sequencing (first two weeks)

1. Day 1: LinkedIn post (Draft 1b) + X opener (Draft 1c) — own audience, zero gatekeepers.
2. Day 1-2: 3-5 partnership emails — Guthmann (Draft 5a) and Adrian Leeds Group (Draft 5b) are pre-written and send-ready; Draft 5 is the template for the rest. These are the only channel that reaches buyers transacting this month; don’t defer them behind slow group-approval channels. Also: request membership in the FB groups now (approval takes days) and start the Message Paris join.
3. Day 1-2: Toytown post (Draft 1) + r/berlin comment-first participation.
4. Day 3-5: FB groups as approvals land (Draft 2 — read pinned promo rules first), Message Paris, r/paris.
5. Week 2: remaining partnership emails (rest of both lists). Follow up on Day-1 sends once after 5 days.
6. Ongoing: answer every property question in these groups for 15 min/day; the profile link converts quietly.

Track every lead’s ?source= parameter in the Tally hidden field; double down on whichever two channels convert first.
