Germany is less intense than the UK or the US: apartments are supplied unfurnished (no lights kitchens or closests) and tenant have more of a homeowner mentality, often living in the same place for years or even decades. Secondly rental units become more profitable over time as inflation, debt repayment and rent increases lower ongoing operating costs. High income professionals can use losses generated to offset their higher marginal tax rates. They can make use of liberal capital cost allowances and superficial loss rules to defer and often avoid paying income tax completely. Long term there is no capital gains tax on property held for more than 10 years. Simply put: Germany is one of the best property investments you can make.

It was when I became an accidental landlord here in Germany that I realized that what a excellent investment opportunity there was here. In researching this subject I found that there was a lot of interest but unlike Canada or the US there was very little written in English about being a landlord or how to be a successful property investor. This blog and soon to be publish book came out of my experience in spending time answering questions on expat forums and helping people who were interested in property investment.
