Is Germany the next property investment market for Hong Kong investors?

Image
Germany, despite the great pride of the European economy, has never been a common place for Hong Kong investors who want to invest overseas. Perhaps because of Anglo-centric beliefs from Hong Kong, as well as other authorities near the city, the German real estate market has been completed for some years. However, compulsory data and investing nature contribute to its recent trend in love. A recent report from the Global Real Estate Outlook Report compiled by IP Global, which tracks the existing international market for investment, has been selected as Germany as one of the most attractive attractions available. There is a imbalance of housing-equality in demand in large cities in Germany, which is most common in Berlin and Frankfurt, and the increase in immigration rates and the number of births increased by 33 years. The provisional service is planned to accommodate 40% to 2030 levels. The German capital, 40 percent of people are under 35 years of age and the city

Problems in Investing In Real Estate

Part of the problem in achieving this may be that potentially useful land and property data are often held in private databases, often painstakingly compiled over many years and closely protected for reasons of confidentiality or commercial advantage. While there have been successful national and international initiatives to encourage collaboration and data pooling, these remain the exception rather than the rule. The barriers seem to be a combination of vested interests and a lack of will to do something about it. Certainly the costs of data storage and processing do not appear to be obstacles. For example, McKinney reports five years ago (Manyika et al., 2011) said that just $ 600 would buy a disk drive large enough to hold all the world's music, and it pointed to 40 per cent annual growth in global data generation, supported by only 5 per cent corresponding growth in IT spending. Now, the rise of the "big data" concept may at last be setting the scene for a brea

You may be interested in buying an investment property if you want to diversify your holdings beyond stocks and bonds. While stories of quick flips—buying a home, renovating it, and reselling at a much higher price—dominate TV reality shows, renting is the true core of real estate investing. That’s because historically there has been very little real price appreciation in houses. Renting generates a steady monthly paycheck, like a classic dividend-paying utility stock. Any price appreciation is a bonus. But investing in a rental home isn’t like buying a low-cost index fund. Choosing the right property, maintaining it, dealing with tenants—all that takes work. Think hard about whether you’re prepared to put in the time. Can you handle after-hours calls? What if your tenant doesn’t pay rent? Veteran real estate investor Leonard Baron says landlords ought to be handy and like fixing things. He also cautions people who are already juggling 60-hour jobs with kids to be wary. “Thin
