I have never had an interest in rental real estate either. Doesn't matter if commercial or residential. I have been a tenant in both aspects and, although I never would bother the landlord for picayune stuff like a drippy faucet, I know many that do and at any hour they feel like it.
Martin, I don't know anything about German tax or securities law but, unless there is a specific reason to separate the funds for those reasons, I would keep all my funds in the same account or at least the same brokerage. I agree that, for your own curiosity, you could keep the funds segregated in a spreadsheet but the larger pot of money you have with an institution oftentimes let's you negotiate with them for comps, lower commissions or whatever.
