Torsten Heinrich wrote that he has never rented from a corporation, but from private individuals who had invested in real estate alongside their jobs. He knows at least seven people who over decades built up to 150 apartments through saving and loans. Two of them constructed and rented out multi-family houses with loans; several started from scratch, including one person from a refugee family. Heinrich argued that private real estate investments also need to be measured against other investment options. Real estate has already performed poorly compared to government bonds or index funds; the main argument for them is the possibility of value appreciation, which is tax-free after ten years. However, this is countered by high renovation costs, as well as work and hassle with tenants. In contrast, paper investments require hardly any effort and, according to him, do not entail additional payments, such as for new insulation or heating regulations. According to Heinrich, the abolition of tax exemption after the holding period is another reason not to invest in real estate. Anyone assuming that the taxation of private real estate sales has no impact on construction activity is effectively making an intellectual capitulation statement. #Immobilien #Investment #Vermietung (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German industry is increasingly relocating production abroad. He referred to a recent Forsa survey of 150 managing directors: according to this, 15 percent of industrial companies have relocated or planned to relocate their production abroad. Among companies with more than 100 million euros in revenue, this figure is 31 percent; 21 percent are reducing production capacities in Germany. According to Boeminghaus, 83 percent of respondents see the high costs in Germany as a major problem, with 100 percent in the automotive industry. He mentioned Miele, which is relocating parts of its washing machine production to Poland, and Bizerba, which concentrates production capacities in Serbia. Although companies continue to invest, according to Boeminghaus, they are increasingly doing so outside Germany, where they find better economic conditions. As a source, he cited Handelsblatt from October 16, 2026. https://t.co/DTiUyKeUwN #Industrie #Mittelstand #Abwanderung (translated)

Maxim Röder wrote that he had the opportunity to exit profitably with each of his investments, but did not always do so. Sometimes he was held back by conviction, sometimes by convenience or greed. Complaining helps little in the face of losses: one must analyze ruthlessly why the exit was missed, otherwise one will continue to pay for lessons at the stock exchange. It is crucial to take responsibility. #Investieren #Finanzen #Börse (translated)
