Glossary entry (derived from question below)
German term or phrase:
Bestandshaltung
English translation:
Holding (or retaining) the property as an investment
German term
Bestandshaltung
I've tried to avoid maintenance because of the possible confusion with "Instandhaltung", but what other word is there for holding onto a developed property instead of selling it, renting it, etc.? These are just two instances; the word pops up about 4 or 5 times.

Proposed translations
Holding (or retaining) the property as an investment
In the IZ dictionary we translated 'Bestandsimmobilien' as 'portfolio properties' - we couldn't find a more exact term. The closest alternative, 'property holdings' is not quite equivalent.

: dauerhafte? long-term holding as an investment is a tautology.//The problem lies with question, not with your answer. Prefixing with dauerhaft could conceivably change the answer.

Hmmm. There are also short- and medium-term investment strategies. But surely everything is relative...

continued maintenance (or retention als Beibehaltung)
vielleicht trägt <continued > dazu bei, den Terminus nicht als Wartung zu interpretieren

: not sure about "retention" part, but "portfolio" is what we seem to be after here

: incorporates well the idea of dauerhafte - which should have prefixed the question.
