It's wise to verify the credentials of anyone involved in a significant financial transaction, especially if they are requesting proprietary financials.

it ignores (1) all the costs that have to be expended simply to process a transaction, and (2) the higher maintenance costs you will be incurring in that type of neighborhood. 

At least we don’t have rent control and it’s in the IL constitution that rent control is illegal otherwise Chicago would for sure have it by now.

The narrative that these are cash flowing properties is aggressively pushed by everyone who benefits from these transactions...turn key operators....brokers....pm's but its incredibly difficult for the non hands on buyers to operate these homes for a sustainable period of time.

From what I have seen, the typical remedy is termination of the contract, refund of the EM deposit and all expenses incurred by the buyer during the failed transaction.

Foreign nationals have the same rights to purchase real estate as German citizens, making it easy for Americans to invest in the German market without additional legal barriers.Furthermore, Germany has a transparent legal process for buying property, ensuring clarity and security throughout the transaction.

Additionally, involve a real estate attorney to ensure the transaction aligns with legal requirements and protects both parties’ interests.

My mum currently lives there, she is 80 and not very well, but you would also become a tenant in common and as such if you had the time you could profit 100% from the transaction, as I need cash urgently and am willing to heavily discount the asset.I am wondering if there is a market out there where someone wants to get a foothold in the London market by buying my part of the property.

Good transaction accounting.

i invest via 50/50 partnerships. i find/coordinate/manage the deal, and my partner brings the capital to the deal & approves large expenses. on their end, it's just about as hands-off as investing in a syndication, but they get to be one of just two main 50/50 decision-makers. and when there are just two parties involved in a deal like this, vs it being diluted across tons of investors, i find it's also possible for the capital partner to see much higher returns. when it comes to teaming up in real estate i'm much more relationship-based and less transactional. i'd rather do fewer very high-quality, carefully selected deals, each with just one capital partner, so that i can really serve that person's best interests and get us amazing results, vs. doing a bunch of diluted deals. i also feel a lot of syndicators out there are newer to the game, lack experience, haven't used their own money enough, and don't use their investors' dollars with enough caution. it gives the high quality syndicators a bad name.
