    Buying a small flat in Berlin for short-term rentals

    I think for the very long term it is a good investment. Of course, a lot of people have been waiting for this very long term to appear in Berling for a while.

    Berlin Beware

    Seems everyone's getting shafted in Berlin at the moment. It is just not what it's held out as being. I'd say avoid, much better to look at Dresden or Leipzig.
