Airbnb people have been discount seekers. try not to go by what you have heard,  but try it on one of your properties  and give it a few months  at a higher rate. 

One thing to take into consideration would be the overhead costs of being a cross-border investor, such as entity setup, property management, higher lending rates and tax filing should you choose to have a CPA.

The combination of Germany's stable economy, well-regulated property market, relatively low interest rates, and the opportunity for long-term capital appreciation make it a compelling choice for U.S.

You should have 25% down payment + closing costs, + an oh Sh*t fund on top of that. 

Do the numbers make sense with each and all interest rates? 

What type of funding are you using?

Meaning that if you fund a $5K EMD and then decide not to close you lose the EMD, or you pay for an inspection up front and risk missing out on the deal while you're waiting for the report.

Our first year out was crazy good renting for $3300 when market rate was around $2100, but by mid 2023 and 2024 it felt harder.

We are BRRRRing it and we’re originally going to rent traditionally, however we decided to look into it as an Airbnb, and when we put in current loan rates which will be near or at 7% when we are ready, we’d only cash flow about $150 a month 😱, but as an Airbnb our projections are around $1,300 cash in our pockets monthly. 💰 At this point is a no brainer 🧠 and we know if it doesn’t work out or we don’t like doing it we can always revert to a traditional rental. 

I have some funds in my 401(k), and I'm considering whether I should cash out some of them to help with the purchase.
