Germany's Robust Rental MarketGermany has a rental culture that contrasts sharply with the homeownership trends in many parts of the U.S.

Hello @Timothy Hilario,I think there are benefits to both strategies.If you move out of your apartment and rent it as a mid-term rental, you could see decent cashflow without pulling equity out of the unit.

I have two rental properties through the VA loan being military.

I have two rentals in Augusta.

Hey friends, I'm an agent in Daytona Beach and I locking in my first short term rental listing.

Quote from @Benjamin Sanders: Hi all,My wife and I made a last-minute offer on a rental property in New Albany that is in a flood plain.

We don't have much capital to work with outside the equity in our current home, but should be able to come up with first/last/deposit on a rental without selling.  

@Fakaradin Floyd Your rental arbitrage idea is interesting.

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years. 

As for a corporate rental you can also see strong rental income with a little less risk since you would be renting to a corporation and they would be on the lease.
