Kaufen oder mieten?

Smarter than real estate agents and bank advisors

The real estate market is booming like never before. Major cities are fully bought up, and wherever there’s a little space left, new construction is underway. Prices are also rising in the suburbs as remote work becomes more widespread. The demand for space seems to be growing unabated. But is owning a home still worthwhile for everyone? Gerd Kommer urges skepticism. In the new edition of his standard work, he teaches readers how to calculate. Because an offer that sounds too good to be true usually has a catch.

Those equipped with Kommer’s expertise and who use the online calculation tool to verify the offer will know all the arguments and can no longer be easily taken advantage of.

“Do you want to buy a home? Because everyone says it pays off in the long run? Read this book first – and then decide like a real estate professional.”
Markus Zydra, Financial Correspondent, Süddeutsche Zeitung

“The only German-language guide to the important question ‘Buy or Rent?’ that includes historical returns from the past four decades. Those who are unaware of this risk investing hundreds of thousands blindly. Clear purchase recommendation.”
Professor Dr. Olaf Gierhake, Institute for Asset Protection, Rapperswil near Zurich

“A first-rate eye-opener that clarifies the depths and shallows of financing and owning a residential property, as well as the surprisingly often more interesting alternative: renting.”
Dipl.-Kfm. Alfred Gesierich, Tax Advisor, Gilching near Munich.
