In the wake of the recent banking crisis leaving numerous investors bitterly disappointed in the state of their funds and shares, the tide is once again making a considerable turn towards investments in real estate. The advantages of such investments apply to both those looking to provide for their retirement and to investors seeking to accumulate wealth. Since real estate offers a more stable investment than pouring money into risky shares or funds, it comes as no surprise that such purchases have become immensely popular.

Low interest rates and stable economic conditions mean that even today investing in German property remains an excellent decision. Since the financial and euro crisis, German residential properties have enjoyed an international reputation as safe assets, with flats rented out on a long-term basis guaranteeing a valuable source of income.
