Unemployment reached 6.9%, with rapid hirings in the auto industry such as sports-car maker Porsche seeking to fill about 130 engineering positions at its Leipzig factory in the coming months.

With the backdrop of uncertainty in the markets, Germany as a whole is increasingly seen as a safe haven for investors. Searches for property in germany climbed a full 40% in the last month alone.

Timing the Sale of Your Investment and Yield – Mat Gets Depressing

It is perhaps human nature for investors to focus on the purchase phase in property
investment, paying less heed to the selling phase until it becomes necessary for financial
or lack of time to manage the property. Additionally, we are all bombarded by marketing
messages to tell us what the next best place is to buy, and how we should part we our
cash. In this short article we will look at methods to plan the timing of the sale of your
investment in a methodical way, making this part of your business as pro-active as the
purchasing side. Even with yield investments, the capital appreciation for property held
more than a few years usually far outweighs the rental income, so it makes good sense to
plan the release of your hard-earned money well.
