Our story
In 2016, the two future founders of LDP Group, Abdelrahman Mohamed and Nicholas Runtic, joined the same school, marking the beginning of a journey neither of them could have foreseen. Abdelrahman had recently arrived from Egypt, bringing with him fresh perspectives and ambition. Nicholas, already inspired by his grandfather’s legacy as a real estate broker, carried a passion for property from an early age. This pivotal connection would lay the foundation for what would become LDP Group.
As students, both Abdo and Nick began developing a strong interest in finance, tech, and international business. Though on separate paths, they stayed in touch, often exchanging ideas about careers, investing, and future plans.
Abdo moved deeper into the German corporate world while continuing his studies. As an Egyptian expat in Germany, he became increasingly frustrated by the high tax burden, the complex bureaucracy, and how difficult it was to make financially smart decisions despite earning well.
Inspired by his family’s real estate success back in Egypt, Abdo began exploring the potential of property investment in Germany. But the market felt fragmented and confusing, especially for expats. That year, he started building a professional network of advisors to better understand how to invest tax-efficiently.
After completing their degrees, both Abdo and Nick entered the corporate world in high-performing roles. That same year, Abdo used his growing network and knowledge to purchase his first investment property. The results were transformative. The property was cash-flow positive from day one, and the deal reduced his tax burden significantly.
Abdo reached out to his longtime friend Nicholas Runtic. Nick’s structured mindset, strategic thinking, and shared international perspective made him the perfect co-founder. Together, they launched LDP Group, combining Abdo’s real estate and tax expertise with Nick’s operational and financial acumen.
In 2025, LDP Group helps expats unlock the full financial advantages of living in Germany by turning taxes into assets through fully managed, strategic property investments. Built by expats for expats, LDP Group delivers the clarity, simplicity, and trust they wished they had when they started their own journeys.
Today, LDP Group has successfully helped clients from over 20 nationalities secure their first investment property in Germany. Many of LDP’s clients have already gone on to purchase their second or even third property, further establishing LDP’s place as the leading company in German real estate for expats.
