Berlin is unique in that this city has some very tough housing laws. You&#x27;re better off being a renter than an owner. Because of that flippers and investors have shied away.<p>I can&#x27;t remember where I heard but the city controls the rental rates. Don&#x27;t want to pay more for a property than you can recoup. And you don&#x27;t want to leave it unoccupied less you come back to find it squatted; and they have rights as well.<p>Because it is so highly regulated its not a great investment.
