Real estate investment in germany

[AlexInGermany]

is it good idea according your experience?

due to Mietbremse and similiar things in big cities like Berlin
if someone moves in and does not pay, difficult to evict

any experiences with owning and renting out?

I am in a short-term furnished rental since I just arrived in Berlin at the end of January. My neighbor across the way told me that the previous tenant had lived here 37 years, but that the landlords claimed Eigenbedarf and kicked her out. The place stayed empty for a few months, and then they started with the short-term rentals. Perhaps this behavior is illegal? But I suppose that Eigenbedarf is a sure-fire way to evict tenants.

From what I`ve heard, renting out a furnished flat is the best option, as the rules and regulations are more relaxed.
However, I am not an expert in the field!

Yes that sounds illegal
If he did eigenbedarf than should have moved in apartment himself
He can face fines if sued by tennant , especaily for so long rental fine can be quite significant
To kick out elderly person who lived there so long even if law allows is brutal
