Hello all, I'm working on trying to grow my rental business and looking at different avenues for funding. 

All of real estate is state specific - while nationwide laws exist the judicial courts often rule differently in different jurisdictions3. when new or inexperienced you don't know what you don't know - advice on BP or from Google searches are only a general guide - you'd be surprised at how often the advice does not apply to your specific situation4. there are often two, three, or four or more ways to accomplish the desired result.  

In Berlin, rental arbitrage has been very profitable, with average annual margins of 25-40% after all costs but before taxes, so shifting to a market where arbitrage is barely breaking even is definitely a reality check.Given your experience, would you say the best way to enter the market now is through purchasing properties with financing?

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

That covers the storage unit I'll need to keep all my stuff in! 

If you default, you'd lose all that has been invested in the property.

How do you manage it all without losing the authenticity of those connections?

That’s all that matters.

The list in nashville have all dried up or I am just out of the loop.

But not all land is fair game.
