This deal is a multi unit building that has low rents, but doesn't really need any repairs. 

Can anyone shed some light on what kind of down payment, terms and qualification requirements we would typically be looking at for an SBA or low down commercial loan?

And with brokerages now offering new agent programs where they will pay 100% of the expense to get licensed, there is literally no reason not to. 

With down payments as low as 5-10%, plus low property taxes compared to the U.S., investing in German real estate is more accessible than you might think.If you’ve ever thought about owning property overseas but felt intimidated, stay tuned.

They used lasers to find the low spots and used "push piers" to lift those areas. 

You'll likely want to evaluate the investment with UDFI tax figured in.The Solo 401k trust would make the payments to the seller/lender and would also pay for any investment-related expenses.

If HOA by laws state past due owners are responsible for all late fees and legal expenses for collection hire an attorney to go after the past due. 

i have much higher expenses and more headaches of course, but cash flow is higher.most major tier 1 or tier 2 cities should have significant enough rental demand to be able to implement this strategy pretty successfully. 

Down payment of $13K including reserves sounds pretty low to me . ( Based on Maryland )

The vacation homes offered a low 10% down so that was helpful.
