However, I've recently come across articles discussing the potential benefits of lower down payments in certain situations.Given the current real estate market conditions, what are the critical factors to consider when deciding between a high or low down payment for an investment property?

I generally tell clients to expense anything under $2,500 unless there are other factors at play that may change that decision. 

Are you factoring in soft expenses such as vacancy and cap ex which do not happen on a consistent basis but for which you may be budgeting.

What annoys me is the majority of people blindly paying interest over 30 years towards a mortgage because they are chasing lower interest rates and end up spending more money in the long run once closing costs and renewing a 30 year term are factored into the process. 

I factored the cost of that capital into my calculations from the start (working the numbers backwards from the ARV to the purchase price)(this also encouraged me to buy the properties at a lower cost). 

The U.S. market can indeed be complex, especially when considering international factors like taxation and financing.While I'm not based in Germany, I do work with a number of out-of-state and international investors who are interested in the Indianapolis market, which offers strong returns and more approachable entry points compared to coastal U.S. cities.

For example, in WA, a debt fund is a security and I have factors to think about when raising capital - 506c has less restrictions than 506b).
