Smarter than real estate agents and bank advisors

The real estate market is booming like never before. Major cities have been bought out, and wherever there is still a little space available, new buildings are going up. Prices are also rising in the suburbs, especially since remote work has become 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 will not be easily taken advantage of.

“Are you looking to buy a home? Because everyone says it always 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 addressing the important question ‘Buy or Rent?’ that includes historical returns from the past four decades. Those who are unaware of these risks may end up investing hundreds of thousands blindly. Strong recommendation to buy.”
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 Consultant, Gilching near Munich.
