"Construction project with a 'special' initial situation"

If you rent out, you have to pay capital gains tax on your profit when selling, don't you?

yes, unless I own the object for at least 10 years, I think..?

but I do want to rent it out permanently at first, until it is paid off and of course always keep an option for sale or personal use

maybe someone can comment again here on renting..advantages/disadvantages :)

No further instructions?

Well, what you should definitely keep in mind:

- Get the name and phone number of the previous landlord to obtain information about the prospective tenant

- Have liability insurance verified

- Request to see the [Schufa-Auskunft]

- Review proof of income

- Check ID

Apart from that, I was rather referring to the general sensibility of renting vs. selling

To rent out, you simply need to have a professional attitude, otherwise it does not pay off or you take a high risk. It is also a lot of work if you do not want to employ [Hausverwaltung].
