As an aside: We actually keep our cash on hand relatively low, if we carry cash equivalents its in an account holding treasuries etc... to fund transactions we pull from multiple lines of credit secured by the loans we own (that way we don't have to sit on $1m of cash to fund a $1m mortgage). 

insure it for the cost of buying an equivalent buIkdIng ( not rebuIod cost) and get liability in case somebody slips (I use 300,000$ ) if you start getting all that other crap like missed rent , vacancies , flood insurance , this that and the other your premiums are going to be astronomical.

You intend to obtain financing with a US LLC or the German equivalent? 

Both the Blue and Orange packages which is basically the equivalent of every basic cable channel

Seller: Receives equivalent of 5 years of previous rental income up front.

So, their 20% of net is about equivalent to 17.5% of gross.

Especially if you are using #32) What are condos of equivalent size to the two units going for?

You only need half the savings to generate an equivalent amount of income. 

Can do much better than the average depending on your skill level.20% Small business : Innovative enterprises : S Corps ROI : 25 - 50%20% CD laddering, money market, and cash equivalent ROI : 1 - 4 %40% Real Estate for passive income ROI: 15 - 18%Originally posted by @Alfredo Perez:Originally posted by @John Arendsen:@Luka MilicevicThanks for the HU!
