Thank you, this is very helpful! Can I ask you advice on what would in general be better investment to rent out in Switzerland on a 500000 CHF budget: an old house (assuming that budget is too low for a nice newer house) or a nice apartment? Have you noticed any differences; what tends to have higher rental returns, if any?
Mmmh well I didn't study the market that much, and also I'm not an expert and I can't give advice... what I know it's that not many people rent a house, and renovating in Switzerland can get really expensive real quick (since labor costs a lot).
