It's possible to buy property in Germany with as little as 5-10% down, making it an attractive option for service members and civilian government employees stationed there or planning to settle.

First thing is to decide if you want to flip or buy/hold.

Then refinance at 80% and buy a few more and do it again. 

@Travis TimmonsI had the same reaction as you did, but I held off on posting since I don't yet invest in STRs (I'm all LTR so far, and looking into my first MTR).Buying an STR "to offset income" makes me nervous as well...

Interest rates will plummet and you can refinance that property, lock in 30 years of low interest rates, pull out equity, and buy another!

Where I’m at there are places you can buy with20k down.

. - $6k/ month is our freedom number from a W2- Buy & Hold MFH is our plan (turnkey with PM in place)- This quad was built in 2024 and we're able to secure a 3.75% 10 year rateHow's this deal looking or would it make more sense to go another route?

@Camille Romero I would not buy a property in a city with a declining population.

I almost exclusively work with investors and business owners in buying and selling in Baldwin County. 

I'll buy the fuel if you'll take me up!
