> With that kind of money, you can buy three small companies in Germany, or stop worrying about retirement, etc.

What are the closing costs of purchasing a whole company? How much would you pay for an accountant to go over the books and a lawyer to go over the forms?

I don't know how much homes cost in Germany, but surely if people have 600k to spend, they would buy companies too, would they not? Why do they buy homes instead?
