About LDP Group – German Real Estate Investment Experts for Expats
In 2016, the two future founders of LDP Group, Abdelrahman Mohamed and Nicholas Runtic, met for the first time, marking the beginning of a journey that would later shape a new approach to real estate investment in Germany. Abdelrahman had recently arrived from Egypt as an expat, bringing fresh perspectives and ambition. Nicholas, inspired by his grandfather’s legacy as a real estate broker, developed an early passion for property and the dynamics of the German real estate market. This connection would ultimately lay the foundation for what became LDP Group – a real estate investment firm built for expats in Germany.
As students, both Abdo and Nick developed a strong interest in finance, technology and international business, with a growing focus on investment strategy and long-term wealth building. While pursuing separate paths, they stayed in close contact, frequently exchanging ideas about real estate investment, international markets and opportunities within the German property landscape.
In 2021, Abdo moved deeper into the German corporate world while continuing his studies. As an Egyptian expat in Germany, he experienced firsthand the challenges of the German tax system, the high income tax burden and the complexity of local bureaucracy. Despite earning well, it became clear how difficult long-term wealth building in Germany could be without a structured investment strategy.
Inspired by his family’s real estate success back in Egypt, Abdo began exploring real estate investment opportunities in Germany. However, the German property market felt fragmented and complex, especially for expats and foreign investors seeking tax-efficient investment strategies.
After completing their degrees, both Abdo and Nick entered the corporate world in high-performing roles. That same year, Abdo applied his growing expertise to acquire his first real estate investment property in Germany. The results were transformative. The property generated positive cash flow from day one, delivered stable rental income and significantly reduced his personal tax burden through a structured real estate investment strategy.
In 2024, Abdo reached out to his longtime friend Nicholas Runtic to transform his personal investment success into a scalable solution for other expats. Nick’s structured mindset, strategic thinking and international perspective made him the ideal co-founder. Together, they launched LDP Group as a German real estate investment firm specializing in tax-efficient property investment strategies for expats and foreign investors.
By 2025, LDP Group was helping expats unlock the full financial advantages of living in Germany through fully managed real estate investment solutions. By transforming tax burdens into structured, tax-efficient property investments, the company enabled international professionals to build strategic property portfolios in the German real estate market. Built by expats for expats, LDP Group delivers the clarity, structure and trust they once searched for themselves.
Today, LDP Group has successfully guided clients from over 20 nationalities through their first real estate investment in Germany. Many investors have since expanded their property portfolios by acquiring second and third investment properties, reinforcing LDP’s position as a leading German real estate investment firm for expats and international professionals.
