🎉 As we kick off 2025, I want to encourage all my fellow Americans stationed in Germany—or preparing to move here—to start thinking differently about your housing allowance.Did you know that your housing allowance could be more than just a rent payment?

Be prepared to follow up multiple times, using different forms of communication—calls, emails, and if possible, in-person visits to their office.

With the right due diligence, this could be a valuable investment, but only if you’re prepared for the legal and logistical hurdles.Good luck and blessings!

That said, what is not clear is whether your CPA prepares a partnership tax return for the deals where you guys partner up.

I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.

Hi there,So I'm curious,  are you looking for help with just the setup, what I refer to as Tax Advice,  or also for the Accountant to do the tax preparation/filing.

I spent months reading, browsing forums and meeting with other investors to prepare.

There were several mistakes made on my tax returns that I pointed out, which required going back and forth with their tax preparers.

I'm currently house hacking my multifamily in Danbury and have another duplex in Brookfield CT that could’ve been a house hack deal as well.My 2 cents are: Stay prepared (preapproved) and on top of the market because when the good opportunities come, you have to jump on it.

Do not expect to keep them and be prepared to have to evict.If the jurisdiction this property is in requires anything in place in order to evict such as rental licenses, etc., get them in place before discussing an increase with the tenant because it's much easier to get inspections and repairs done when the tenant cooperates.
