đŸș New in Town: Neukölln Social & Drinks
đŸș New in Town: Neukölln Social & Drinks
Moving to Berlin is an adventure, but let’s be real—the "Berlin Schnauze" (the city's famous bluntness) can be a bit intimidating, and finding your people takes time. Whether you arrived last week or last year, if you’re looking to break out of the "expat bubble" or just find some friendly faces in your neighborhood, this is for you. We’re gathering at **Ä Stube**, a cozy, alternative gem in the heart of Neukölln. Think dim lights, great music, and a relaxed atmosphere where you don't have to shout to be heard. We can't wait to welcome you to the neighborhood. đŸ„šâœš

Become a Landlord/lady. Werde Vermieter/in.
Become a Landlord/lady. Werde Vermieter/in.
We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. 3/4 come from tax cuts and tenants. It's not a trick. It's government policy. All German Federal Governments, past and present, of whichever party, want taxpayers to become landlords and -ladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come here and find out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafĂŒr nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Vermieter werden, Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und spĂ€ter Beton‑Rente bekommen. Info-Abend nur zur Orientierung. Kucken kostet nichts. S,U Bahnhof Zoo, Kantstraße 163-165, 10623 Berlin, Motel One Upper West, 10th floor, turn left, circumvent the sign "vorĂŒbergehend geschlossen" Go justs there. I'll be there.
