I’m so sorry to hear about your loved one’s failing health.  

The good news is that the financial metrics you've read about are universal and not at all country specific.The bad news is that Germany may just not be a good cash-flow market, compared to the U.S.But then, few markets are.That's why you find so many Germans and Australians and Spaniards and others trying so hard to find great deals in the U.S.And, even in the States, there are plenty of sub-markets where properties routinely fail the so-called "1% rule."

I'd speculate that your CPA failed to check the "complete disposition of activity" checkbox in his tax software, keeping these losses locked instead of releasing them.2.

If you fail to follow the rules, you may open your personal assets to a lawsuit.

I'd advise against assuming the loan or seller financing in most scenarios...typically it is discussed because buyers think they can get something for nothing.

However, real estate deals with enormous amounts of sensitive personal and financial information—from potential buyers’ financial details to tenant records.

I reached out to all my tenants, buyers and sellers these last few days to help them prepare with their properties.  

AS a follow up foreclosure buyers in Las Vegas have it good also.. the sales are conducted in the parking lot of one of the local title companies.

Any agents work at a brokerage that offers you access to instant buyers like eXp Express Offers, etc?
