Sometimes you can find firsthand experiences that don't show up immediately in basic searches.3.

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?

Is there anybody out there with some knowledge on how to acquire emtpy lots via creative ways such as auctions, foreclosures, or any other way?

But I'm looking for the cheapest option to acquire for now and then work my way up to multifamily.

Specifically, the the loan guarantors need to have controlling ownership in at least (i) 3 multifamily properties [with the first acquired at least 2 years ago], or (ii) 1 multifamily property that has been owned for at least the last 5 years. 

using this form of financing is a great way to acquire/fix a property but if you are looking to hold long term you would want to find long term financing. 

We recently acquired a key that is a minimum 90 day mid-term.

but, just to be candid, with the market the way it is right now, it's the most hands-on, time-consuming, gnarliest projects and strategies that are generating the best returns (and i am not recommending those - just stating a fact.)plain vanilla LTRs are still a great strategy in the long-term - they're just tough to acquire and they're not going to cash flow.can you tell us a little bit more about your background and what time you do or don't have available? 

Your experience is valuable, and starting with rentals and BRRRR is a smart move.You’re already on the right track by using tools like Redfin and Zillow.
