With this being your first purchase, you may want to consider a property that's not being sold at auction. 

Understand Realtor (Agent) Fees- In Germany, real estate agent (Makler) fees are typically paid by the buyer and can range from 3-7% of the property purchase price, plus 19% VAT.- These fees are due at closing and are part of the overall transaction costs.6.

If you had good credit (670-730 range), you have 20% to make a down payment, and sufficient income to qualify for the home you want to purchase - Would you choose the FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER or CONVENTIONAL purchase option...which would you pick and WHY?

He knows nothing relevant about this purchase. 

I know for example we can fund up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab when we're funding the purchase and the rehab.

My goal is to purchase my first property between now and mid to late 2025.

I definitely wouldn't sign a purchase agreement before seeing the property.
