Not only do we find the housing market to be a little more manageable, but a lot of people travel there year round. 

This cultural preference for renting creates a steady demand for rental properties, ensuring reliable cash flow for property owners.Additionally, many Germans face a significant shortage of affordable housing, particularly in major cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg.

The bill for a roof on a $60,000 house is the same as a $500,000 house, however, the % of Revenue on each are vastly different. 

to your point, if you save up so that you're in a strong financial position, house hack a solid duplex in a decent neighborhood, make smart decisions, and hold it indefinitely, you'll be fine.conversely, if you have $0 and somehow start out with a risky flip, or borrow $20K and spend it all on a magic mentoring program, or buy a terrible property in a neighborhood you've never been to, you may not be fine.

If the property is vacant, you will attract a larger pool of buyers as not everyone looking for a house wants to use it as a rental.

Is this a situation where we (as sellers) would reach out to a wholesaler?

Educate yourself on how to house hack.

The seller hasn’t responded to anyone after the deal close.

If you are newer I'd suggest a house hack unless you can rinse/repeat this process again. 

If you’re not satisfied with your current attorney’s approach, it may be worth seeking a second opinion to explore other strategies or angles you might not have considered.Next, focus on compliance with housing codes and tenant protection agencies like DCF.
