This cultural preference for renting creates a steady demand for rental properties, ensuring reliable cash flow for property owners.Additionally, many Germans face a significant shortage of affordable housing, particularly in major cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg.

Very unlikely unless you find a private lender/individual to do this as a one-off. 

Typically a few types of PMs out thereThe individual agent, little to no staffThe PM company that's a set it and forget it, glorified rent collectorThe PM company that's a true partnerI would on top of the suggestions abovesearch for a PM that owns their own portfolio tooThey treat your asset like they treat their own portfolio- There should be a full staff and readily available to answer the phone1.

If I have several options, I would prefer a HELOC with no initial draw requirements (i.e. to establish a literal line of credit that I have no specific short term plans to use), i.e. not something like the better.com HELOC. 

As a would be individual landlord with just a one unit single family property I don’t know I can stomach the risk or withstand a financial assault resulting from an eviction process for a non-paying tenant (or tenants that do extensive damage).I am seriously considering bowing out and selling.

In fact, you insisted that house was turnkey and that your "preferred" management company was suggesting unnecessary repairs (I did walk the house in person and they were 100% necessary).And yes, you did walk the property on a video chat with me, but what I found working with you is that I have to ask A LOT of questions because you are not forthcoming.

The program is neither good nor bad, there's just different pros & cons compared to cash paying tenants.Have offered to schedule a call with you numerous times to try and assist you, but you seem to prefer posting & posting & posting - which will take so much longer:(What are the chances you'll actually invest someday, given how long it's taking you to do basic research?

I've done a lot of wraps and subtos and highly prefer the seller-finance strategy for a lot of reasons, including offering the opportunity of homeownership to those otherwise rejected by traditional banks.

And they'll want you to pay off the loan pretty soon (and usually will you as the rate will probably be higher than banks) so there's that too.For this reason, we definitely prefer private lenders as they will (if you've built trust with them) often lend on the rehab too.

This is my preferred means of purchasing rental properties for cash from the SDIRA.
